KFC are the next casualty of the supply chain crisis, announce a drastically reduced menu
The surging COVID-19 infections have affected the food industry as workers in critical industries are being forced into isolation.
Supermarkets, such as Coles and Woolworths, confirmed that they are making adjustments in a bid to accommodate their shoppers despite stock issues.
Unfortunately, the looming supply chain crisis has now reached fast-food chains as KFC recently announced that some of its restaurants will be offering a smaller menu due to supply shortages on chicken.

A spokesman told news.com.au: “Unfortunately our supply chain has been disrupted, and some of our restaurants will be offering a reduced menu.”
“We’re sorry for any issues this causes our customers – we’re doing everything we can to help our suppliers get back on track.”
It was reported that sold-out signs have been popping up at some restaurants in recent days.
One sign read: “Due to supplier issues, we have no original chicken, zingers, fillets or wings. Please refer to sold-out stickers for available items.”
It should be noted that the Australian government has made adjustments regarding the isolation requirements for workers in the critical industries — food and grocery production, manufacturing, logistics, and distributions facility workers — on Monday.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison confirmed the changes, saying that workers can go to work as long as certain requirements are met.
“So, those who are driving the truck to deliver the food, those stacking the shelves at night, those in the distribution centres, those who are in the abattoirs, the manufacturing places that are producing food,” PM Morrison said.
Close contacts who work in critical industries are allowed to leave isolation facilities as long as they return a negative rapid antigen test result each day.
