Fans of McDonald’s late-morning meal in Australia are forced to rise before.
Due to a bird flu outbreak that caused an egg deficit, the fast food chain giant has temporarily cut the country’s meal time by 90 days.
It is now only serving its total breakfast menu until 10:30 am, as opposed to the customary midday.
” Like many merchants, we are properly managing supply of eggs due to the current market challenges”, McDonald’s Australia said in a speech sent to the BBC.
” We’re continuing to work strongly with our system of Aussie producers, suppliers, and suppliers, as the industry comes along to manage this issue”.
In east Australia, 11 chicken facilities have been the subject of a number of bird flu strains in the last two months.
Officials have claimed to have the situation under control.
” Consumers can expect to see some clear shelves in the brief- term, but, supplies are being de- directed to areas with little supply”, the Australian government said.
Buyers should refrain from purchasing more eggs than is necessary.
Less than 10 % of Australia’s egg-laying eggs have been affected by bird flu, but some companies have placed restrictions on how many eggs can be purchased.
About 1.5 million birds have been culed in Australia as a result of the occurrences.
None of the isolates identified so far have been carriers of the H5N1 bird flu.
H5N1 has spread to all bird and animal populations, infecting billion of wildlife and a small number of people.
