"Frozen Potato Quality Below Standard"... McDonald's Suspends 'Hureuncheu Hurae' Sales Again (Comprehensive)
"Unavailable Due to Unexpected Supply Chain Issues"
Separate Notice Will Be Given When Sales Resumption Date Is Confirmed
Sales Previously Suspended in 2022 Due to Delivery Problems
On the 20th, McDonald's temporarily suspended the sale of French fries in South Korea due to quality issues with frozen potatoes.
McDonald's announced on its website that "due to unexpected supply chain issues, we are temporarily unable to provide French fries." They also added, "We apologize for the inconvenience and will do our best to resume sales as soon as possible."
A McDonald's representative stated, "An unexpected issue occurred at the supplier," and added, "We will provide a separate notice once the normalization date is confirmed."
The cause of the suspension of French fries sales was the quality of the frozen potatoes supplied to McDonald's.

The McDonald's representative said, "Some of the frozen potatoes supplied to McDonald's Korea were suspected to be below (quality) standards, so we proactively stopped providing the product," and added, "We will work quickly to resume French fries sales."
Meanwhile, McDonald's also faced a suspension of French fries supply in 2021 and 2022. McDonald's uses frozen potatoes, and at that time, due to COVID-19, maritime transportation was disrupted, leading to the suspension of French fries sales.
