Customers of KFC fried chicken restaurants in Australia are ready to protest after the high prices of Iceberg salad forced the chain to use a mix of lettuce and cabbage in burgers and other products. Clients complain that the result is deplorable, AFP reported, quoted by BNR.
The local price of Iceberg lettuce, traditionally used by restaurants, has risen by as much as 300 percent in recent months, forcing the fast food chain to change the sandwich recipe.
“We are currently experiencing a shortage of salads. We use a mixture of lettuce and cabbage for all products containing lettuce. The order is valid until a second order, “the company said.
According to the company, massive floods in the east of the country are to blame for the shortage, but supply chain expert Flavio Macau of Edith Cowan University says Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is also a factor in raising diesel and fertilizer prices.
In Sydney or Melbourne, a head of Iceberg lettuce, which until recently sold for about $ 2, now costs about $ 8.
