New Delhi: Where at this time the prices of tomatoes and other vegetables in the country have put people in trouble. And McDonald’s has removed tomatoes from its burgers. Yes, now you will not see tomatoes in McDonald’s burgers. On the matter, McDonald’s India’s North and East franchisees said on Friday that this has been done for some time due to the seasonal issue. Actually, he said that even after all the efforts, he is not able to get good quality tomatoes.
Franchisee told the reason
The franchisee said in this regard, “We are looking for a solution for this and soon we will include it in our items. On the other hand, due to heavy rains, the price of tomatoes in the country has now reached Rs.250. Actually, the quality has been affected due to crop failure.
Along with this, McDonald’s India’s West and South franchisees have also stopped serving tomatoes at 10-15% of their stores. The franchisee said in this regard that during the monsoon ‘fruit flies’ is a common problem. Due to this, the batches of bad tomatoes are gradually removed. This is a common seasonal problem that every restaurant faces, usually in monsoons.
This has happened before
Be aware that even in the year 2016, the North and East franchises of India had removed tomatoes from their menu. Even then the reason for this was the poor quality of tomatoes. McDonald’s once took tomatoes off the menu in its UK restaurant due to supply chain problems.
