KFC in Australia has had to substitute lettuce with cabbage in its meals, following a shortage of lettuce.
According to BBC, the shortage is caused by floods in the area which have destroyed the crop.
“Due to the recent floods in NSW [New South Wales] and QLD [Queensland] we’re currently experiencing a lettuce shortage. So, we’re using a lettuce and cabbage blend on all products containing lettuce until further notice,” states KFC Australia.
The lettuce shortage has also led to a massive price increase.
According to BBC, lettuce prices have gone up by 300%.
This is not the first time this year the food chain has had to modify its menu due to food shortages.
Earlier this year, there was a shortage of chicken due to a reduced number of staff at Australia’s biggest chicken supplier, Ingham’s. The “rapid spread of the Omicron variant across eastern Australian states” was to blame.
