The ‘Gilroy Garlic Fries’, which is being tested testing at four South Bay locations in USA have run out of garlic supplies.
"In less than two weeks, our small, four restaurant test of Gilroy Garlic Fries has been a huge success, and we are now experiencing a temporary shortage of supplies," a statement from McDonald’s read. "We are excited about how many people have visited our restaurants to try the fries, and we apologize for any inconvenience to our customers."
As per McDonald, the latest fried potatoes are seasoned with garlic grown in Gilroy, California, which is called ‘the garlic capital of the world.’
“We’re proud of the work done by local franchisees and the regional team to create this menu item with locally-sourced garlic and we look forward to introducing Gilroy Garlic Fries to our customers in the Bay Area," stated Michael Haracz, manager of culinary innovation at McDonald's USA.
According to Time, the garlic fries are part of the fast food chain efforts to ramp up its offers in order to compete with deals offered by other fast food chains. McDonald launched its popular all-day breakfast menu in October 2015 and tested new items like the Chicken McGriddle sandwich at certain locations.
