McDonald's Korea-tomato supply
McDonald's Korea to resume tomato supply next week
SEOUL, Nov. 7 (Yonhap) -- McDonald's Korea, the local unit of fast-food giant McDonald's Corp., will reintroduce tomatoes to its burgers from next week after temporarily removing them due to a shortage caused by recent weather conditions.
The company had suspended the use of tomatoes in some of its hamburgers on Oct. 15, citing supply issues. It has offered customers free beverage coupons to make up for the missing ingredient.
"Tomatoes, which have been in short supply due to recent heat waves and other extreme weather conditions, will be available in stores nationwide starting Nov. 11," the company said in a statement.
