Taco Bell is facing a tortilla shortage that’s affecting restaurant menus across the US.
The issue is related to a supplier shortage, and the company is working to replenish its stock, Taco Bell said in a statement.
“While some Taco Bell restaurants are experiencing supplier shortages, we are working diligently to replenish the supply of our tortillas (used for products like quesadillas and burritos) in those restaurants and encourage fans to try any of our other delicious menu items like the Power Menu Bowl or Cheesy Gordita Crunch in the meantime,” a Taco Bell spokeswoman told Business Insider.
“We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause and appreciate our customers’ patience.”
Taco Bell uses tortillas for quesadillas, burritos, and special items like the Crunchwrap Supreme. The company did not respond to questions regarding the number of restaurants affected by the shortage.
News of the shortage was first reported by WHNT News, a northern Alabama television outlet.
Some people are panicking over the issue on social media:
