McDonald's restaurants in BC are experiencing supply shortages
We have some news that’s certainly not going to have many BC fast-food fans McLovin’ it.
McDonald’s Canada has confirmed to Dished Vancouver that recent severe weather in the province has resulted in supply shortages for some ingredients used by the brand.
This means some top menu items such as nuggets, Big Macs, hamburgers, and cheeseburgers could be temporarily unavailable to customers, depending on where they head to get their McDonald’s fix.

A Daily Hive reader submitted a photo of this sign posted at McDonald’s on Luckakuck Way in Chilliwack.
The message reiterated what McDonald’s Canada confirmed to us directly today, that due to the weather in BC and major highways closures, the restaurant group was indeed experiencing ingredient supply shortages.
The entire breakfast menu, nuggets, Big Macs, McDoubles, cheeseburgers, milk, juices, and milkshakes were not being offered at this particular McDonald’s in Chilliwack on Monday.

McDonald’s Canada acknowledged some items “may be temporarily unavailable” at restaurants in BC but did not specify which areas in the province were affected, nor did they provide insight about when shortages would be resolved.
Over the past week, BC shoppers and restaurant goers have been met with empty shelves and missing menu items at eateries after major shipping routes were severed.
The flooding and accompanying road washouts also prompted the BC government to issue a gas rationing plan amid a shortage, where drivers are limited to 30 litres of gas per fill.
