After numerous reports from customers visiting local branches in Teesside, a built-up area around the River Tees in the north of England, McDonald's have confirmed that they are experiencing a shortage of tomatoes due to ongoing supply chain issues.
Posters were spotted on Tuesday on the doors of McDonald's at Teesside Park and Portrack Lane in Stockton, which stated the ongoing situation to customers.
A McDonald's spokesperson said: "We are currently experiencing a shortage in our supply of tomatoes. As a result, the Big Tasty and the Big Tasty with Bacon will have one slice of tomato rather than the usual two. We apologize for any inconvenience, and thank our customers for their patience. We are working hard to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.”
