McDonald's has suspended sales of french fries in Korea due to an interruption in its supply chains.

"Due to an unexpected issue within our supply chain, we are temporarily unable to provide french fries," McDonald's Korea said in a statement on Thursday.

The U.S.-headquartered fast food franchise¹ did not give a specific date on when they would start selling fries again, instead saying they would do their best to resume sales as soon as possible.

Customers will not be able to purchase set meals that come with fries. Instead, a medium-sized cola will be given for free with all burger purchases.

McDonald's Korea briefly² halted french fry sales in August 2021 and February 2022 because of supply chain disruptions.
