The hamburger chain paused the sale of breakfast in Mexico.
Bachoco has not been able to supply McDonald’s eggs due to the national shortage.
Canirac has also encountered challenges in selling food.
Due to increased demand and multiple production problems, the egg shortage in various parts of Mexico has caused McDonald’s temporarily suspends breakfastjoining hundreds of restaurants that seek to take sales and consumption measures.
Restaurants and some food chains have begun to suffer from the low distribution of eggs, derived from the avian flu, taking precautionary measures to avoid panic buying or missing their services to the consumer.
The McDonald’s franchise, for example, reported that its supplier, Bachoco, does not currently have eggs to stock, so breakfasts will be suspended until further notice in practically all Mexican branches; this, since they will not supply the ingredient with other companies since they cannot ensure compliance with certain quality standards.
And it is that other establishments have looked for alternatives, but they have realized that there is a considerable increase in the price that directly impacts the utility.
“I was probing and there is no egg, there are effects due to avian flu but also because a lot has been sent for export, So this has been coming together and what always happens is that, whoever has some stored product, is the one who wins, prices rise as you have no idea, “explained Guillermo Martínez Ávila, president of the National Chamber of the Restaurant and Seasoned Food Industry (Canirac).
The expert added that a carton of 30 eggs was around 60 pesos at the beginning of the year, while currently it exceeds 90 and 100 pesos in supermarkets and supply stores, which affects the gastronomic union and thousands of families that supply your weekly or monthly basic basket.
However, Canirac also points out that many suppliers currently earn more by exporting the few eggs they have than by selling them locally, even if they are large food chains such as McDonald’s, which has further complicated the work of the sector in the last few weeks… a fact that is estimated to increase.
“We have to manage the price the same, there are products that we are losing, we (at Pinabete) have buffet breakfast, and the moment they increase the egg, well, we come out very punished in utility, or even losing, because it keeps increasingMartinez Avila commented.
