KFC has confirmed that it has been forced to temporarily drop chicken nuggets from the menu in hundreds of stores. 7NEWS.com.au understands that KFC stores in Victoria and South Australia will not serve the snack due to a disruption within its supply chain. The fast food chain will instead be offering Popcorn Chicken as a replacement in impacted shared meals. It’s believed the shortage in nuggets is not related to the recent bird flu outbreak in poultry farms in Victoria.
“Avian influenza is not a food safety concern and it is safe to eat properly handled and cooked chicken meat, eggs and egg products,” it said in a new statement. “There is no evidence to show the virus can be transmitted to people through properly prepared food.” FSANZ CEO Dr Sandra Cuthbert added: “Farms affected by bird flu have been quarantined and the movement of animals and products restricted,” Dr Cuthbert said.
