McDonald's milkshake shortage explained
Reports state that a shortage of lorry drivers due to post-Brexit EU immigration rules and Covid-19 restrictions that are still in place are causing an impact.
Mirror Online says that EU regulations have restricted the number of drivers available as well as some needing to follow self-isolating rules as Covid remains dominant across Great Britain.
The fast-food chain is said to be doing everything it can to restore the problem to bring back the hugely popular Maccies milkshake across a number of its restaurants.
In a statement, a McDonald’s spokesman said they were “working hard to return these items to the menu”.
