Due to a shortage of eggs brought on by an epidemic of avian flu, the nation’s largest fast food chain has temporarily reduced the hours of its breakfast service by ninety minutes.
Currently, it only serves the entire breakfast menu until 10:30 am, as opposed to midday as normal.
McDonald’s Australia made a comment to the news saying, “Like many retailers, we are carefully managing the supply of eggs due to the current industry challenges.”
“We’re continuing to work closely with our network of Aussie farmers, producers, and suppliers as the industry comes together to manage this challenge.”
There have been multiple bird flu strains found in 11 poultry operations in southeast Australia.
According to the authorities, everything is under control.
“Consumers can expect to see some empty shelves in the short term; however, supplies are being re-directed to areas with short supply,” according to the Australian government.
“Consumers should refrain from purchasing more eggs than required.”
