Major chains announce menu changes due to lettuce shortage
The food shortage was a result of the floods, they said.
Major chains have made menu changes due to a shortage of lettuce.
In an update from the company this week, KFC was the first to say it would add cabbage to some of its products because lettuce crops around the country had been destroyed by recent floods.
"We're using a lettuce and cabbage blend on all products containing lettuce until further notice," it said, citing a shortage following high waters in NSW and QLD.
The menu change will affect restaurants in those states, as well as VIC, ACT and TAS. Items expected to be impacted include Zinger Burgers and Crunch Twister wraps.
With its own update on their website, Subway said: “So, in the short-term, we’ll be mixing lettuce with cabbage to keep you eating your favourite footlongs – while more lettuce is on the way.”
Red Rooster also issued a similar announcement through its social media accounts.
