McDonald’s has been accused of hoarding the nation’s dwindling supply of potatoes to feed its latest menu craze. The chain has started selling potato scallops when small outlets are struggling to get a share.
While it seemed to have already sparked controversy over its name, the new summer menu item from McDonald’s is back in the spotlight. The chain recently revealed their special selection and were met with a backlash from one local fish and chip shop owner in Australia who slammed the fast food giant for taking potato stock that was already scarce due to nationwide shortages. This has raised questions about the choices businesses are making during a time when resources are still tight.
