The fast food chain posted a notice on its website warning customers that a cabbage ‘blend’ would be used in any items that usually contain lettuce.
“We’ve hit a bit of an Iceberg and are currently experiencing some lettuce supply chain disruptions due to the impacts of the recent Queensland and NSW floods,” the fast-food chain posted online.
“We’re working with our multiple suppliers to provide them with support, but we do expect disruptions to continue in the coming days. Apologies for any inconvenience caused, we appreciate you all being Little Gems as we work to get things back to normal ASAP.”
KFC urged customers who didn’t want the cabbage to remove lettuce completely from their order.
A few weeks ago, a head of lettuce was costing shoppers just A$2.80 (R31).
However, due to an ongoing supply crisis the price has skyrocketed to as much as A$12 (R133).
The price increase follows a wet start to 2022 with unprecedented rain and flooding spoiling crops in NSW and Queensland.
Thankfully there are no suggestions that you’ll be forced to eat cabbage with your next LFC purchase in Mzansi.
