McDonald’s Co. Japan will place its medium- and large-size French fries back on the menu to all of its 2,900 McDonald’s restaurants across the country from 10:30 a.m. on Monday after suspending its sale for nearly a month due to a potato shortage.
The company twice experienced a potato shortage since last December after worldwide logistics disruptions due to the coronavirus pandemic and flooding near a Vancouver port delayed potato imports from North America.
The hamburger chain continued to offer small-size fries during the potato shortage.
McDonald’s arranged a new transport route from the eastern coast of North America to fix the problem.
According to Mc|Donald’s they would continue to cooperate with importers and suppliers to ensure stable resource procurement.
