Sales are expected to resume by the end of November.
日本マクドナルド announced that it would temporarily suspend sales from the 13th of new regular chicken products that have been sold since 21 October, because sales exceeding expectations had made stable production of chicken patties difficult. Sales of the regular products subject to the temporary suspension are expected to resume by the end of November.
The 7 regular products subject to the temporary suspension include the Zakuzaku Juicy Mac, Spicy Zakuzaku Juicy Mac, Teriyaki Chicken Juicy Mac and Zakuzaku Juicy Chicken Thigh. Limited-time products are also expected to end earlier than their originally scheduled sales periods.
The company explained the reason for the suspension as “a situation in which it is difficult to ensure a stable supply of the chicken patties made with the thigh meat used.” It said preparations were under way for sales to resume around the end of November and acknowledged the inconvenience to customers looking forward to purchasing the products.
Other chicken products, including Chicken McNuggets, McChicken and products available exclusively during Night Mac, will remain on sale as usual. Depending on inventory, sales may be suspended or ended earlier than the 13th.
