KFC is running out of food AGAIN as it warns about food shortages due to ‘weeks of disruption’
KFC has warned customers that some menu items are unavailable due to food shortages after "weeks of disruption".
The fast food chain issued a statement last night to tell fried chicken fans that "things may be a little different" in store.
It is the second time the fast food giant has faced problems with supplies.
The chain ran out of chicken in 2018 and was forced to close more than 600 branches across the UK.
At the time it blamed the lack of chicken on teething problems with new delivery firm DHL.
Recently, food chains, restaurants, pubs and retailers have been facing disruption due to a shortage of delivery drivers across the UK.
KFC did not say which menu items were affected, or how long the disruption is expected to last.
Some customers have taken to social media to complain that mini fillets, gravy, BBQ and sweet chilli bites and rice boxes are out of stock.
