Taco Bell warns of menu disruptions caused by shortage of ingredients

Taco Bell is warning its customers of menu disruptions caused by a shortage of ingredients. 

“Sorry if we can’t feed your current crave,” an orange banner on the top of Taco Bell’s website reads.

“Due to national ingredient shortages and delivery delays, we may be out of some items,” the banner added.

However, it is unclear which items are in short supply and how long the shortage will last. 

“Due to national transportation delays happening throughout most of the industry, we may temporarily be out of some items. Apologies for the inconvenience and we hope to feed fans’ current Taco Bell cravings again soon,” the company told The Hill in a statement.

Taco Bell’s shortage follows Chick-Fil-A’s shortage in May of sauces.

The company had to restrict how many sauce packages a customer could get due to the shortage. 

There have been supply and labor shortages across the country since as businesses have attempted to recover from the pandemic. 

The airline industry in particular has experienced an unprecedented number of delays and cancellations due to a lack of trained pilots and airport workers. Major airlines urged pilots to take leaves of absences or retire early after the pandemic made it unclear when the industry would rebound.
