Fast-food giant KFC has been forced to put cabbage in its burgers and wraps, as the global food crisis takes hold

KFC’s Australian operations are struggling with a shortage of lettuce, which has forced the company to use cabbage in its products.

It’s believed the new filling will be a mixture of lettuce and cabbage after floods destroyed lettuce crops across the east coast of Australia.

“Due to the recent floods in NSW and QLD we’re currently experiencing a lettuce shortage. So, we’re using a lettuce and cabbage blend on all products containing lettuce until further notice.”

Some social media users have posted photos of lettuces costing over three times the usual price.

Meanwhile, other fast-food chains have also been hit by the global food crisis. Earlier this year, McDonald’s experienced a shortage of chips in some of its Asian stores.

KFC Australia says the blend will be on all products containing lettuce until further notice.

But customers can still customise their orders to remove the ingredients, if they wish.

“If that’s not your bag, simply click ‘Customise’ on your chosen product and remove Lettuce from the Recipe,” the company says.

Investors have been urging such steps as China faces deflationary pressures and a sharp property market downturn.

However, no figure was provided for the stimulus package, leaving markets anxious about the strength and duration of the recovery effort.

Economists warn that this lack of clarity may prolong uncertainty until China’s legislature approves extra debt measures.

Concerns are rising that China may fall short of its 5% growth target, signalling deeper structural challenges ahead.
