The coronavirus crisis has put a huge strain on the meat industry, which has warned of shortages in the coming weeks.
Nearly 1 in 5 Wendy’s locations across the country are out of beef for the fast food chain’s signature fresh hamburgers, according to one analysis viewed by HuffPost on Tuesday.
The beef shortages vary from state to state, with locations in New York, Connecticut, Tennessee, Michigan, Ohio and Indiana impacted particularly hard. Anecdotal evidence from social media posts also points to scattered outages in other areas from California to Illinois. — Amber Olivas May 4, 2020 “It is widely known that beef suppliers across North America are currently facing production challenges,” a Wendy’s spokeswoman said in a statement to CNBC.
Several major U.S. meat processing plants have temporarily shuttered due to the number of workers spreading the coronavirus in their close-quarter workspaces. Farmers are being forced to consider slaughtering and discarding hundreds of thousands of pigs, cows and chickens ― and some have already started doing so.
