While the supply of raw materials for French fries has become unstable due to the disruption of the global distribution network of Corona, Mos Food Service, which develops hamburger chains, will sell some French fries products from the 10th. Announced that it will be suspended, the impact is spreading.
According to the announcement, Mos Food Service will temporarily suspend the sale of seven products such as French fries and potato-set menus offered at more than 1,200 stores nationwide from the 10th.
Processed potatoes from North America are used as raw materials for these products, and the reason for the suspension of sales is that the company has delayed global distribution due to the new corona and unseasonable weather, and last month. It is said that it was decided that the sales of potatoes increased and it was not possible to provide enough potatoes.
Sales are expected to resume in the middle of next month.
Regarding French fries, even among other restaurant chains that procure raw materials from overseas, due to the disruption of the global distribution network due to the corona disaster, sales of some products were suspended or the supplier was changed. The impact is widespread as supply continues to be volatile, with a series of forced cases.
