KFC runs out of some items in the UK because of supply 'disruption'
  • "Things may be a little different when you next visit us," KFC told its UK customers Wednesday.
  • Some items were unavailable, it said, without naming any.
  • The supply problems were down to "disruption," it said, without elaborating.

KFC customers in the UK might have problems getting their favorite meal when they next visit the chain.

The fast-food giant tweeted Wednesday that, at some locations, some items were unavailable and the packaging "might look a little different to normal."

"Things may be a little different when you next visit us," it added.

The company didn't say which items or packaging were unavailable, or how many of its $4 had been affected. Some customers $4 that there were no cups.

KFC credited the supply issues to "some disruption over the last few weeks," without elaborating.

The fast-food chain didn't immediately reply to Insider's request for comment on which items were unavailable and what had caused the shortages. KFC hasn't tweeted about the shortages since Wednesday's post.

Starbucks also put a temporary hold on some ingredients like hazelnut syrup, toffee nut syrup, chai tea bags, and green iced tea, per an internal memo viewed by $4 in June.

Grocery stores across the UK $4, too.

The supply-chain issues have been attributed to $4, $4, and a $4. The UK's Road Haulage Association estimates that there's a shortage of $4 drivers.
