Huge change to Macca’s breakfast menu revealed

Macca’s have made an announcement about its breakfast menu just weeks after having to cut back its availability due to Australia’s egg shortage.

Macca’s has made a huge announcement about its breakfast menu just weeks after the fast-food giant was hit by Australia’s egg shortage.

Last month, Macca’s had to strip back its breakfast menu offering time from midday to 10.30am due to supply chain issues linked to Australia’s biggest-ever outbreak of bird flu, strains of which have been found on poultry farms in Victoria, NSW and the ACT.

More than one million birds have been culled as a result to try and stop the spread, and buying limits on cartons of eggs have been invoked at a number of supermarkets.

A Macca’s spokesperson this morning revealed things have almost returned to normal with breakfast now being served until 11.30am.

“We’re excited to share that from today, Macca’s brekkie fans can get their favourite breakfast items, including the Bacon and Egg McMuffin, Sausage McMuffin and Hotcakes between 4:00am-11:30am at McDonald’s restaurants across the country,” the spokesperson told news.com.au.

“We want to thank our customers for their patience and understanding during the temporary changes to our brekkie menu. A huge thank you also to our network of Aussie farmers, producers and suppliers, who ensured we could keep fresh, 100 per cent Aussie eggs on the menu in our restaurants, nationwide.

“We’ll see you soon for breakfast at Macca’s! P.S. our iconic Hash Browns remain available 24/7 on our all day menu.”

Hungry Macca’s fans are still able to pick up anything they want from the regular menu from 10.30am.

Customers were over the moon at the news.

“I only buy from the brekky menu so this is great,” one social media user said.

Another added: “Yummy. Stomach growling. Must have muffin.”

“This has made my entire week. That extra hour sleep in on a sketchy Sunday is much needed,” another added.

Macca’s wasn’t the only business that needed to cut back due to supply chain issues.

Woolworths introduced a two-pack buying limit on eggs due to a delay in stock after a suspected outbreak of avian flu was identified at an egg farm adjoining a packing shed.

This impacted customers in NSW, ACT and Victoria.

Coles instituted a similar limit to egg purchases at all of its stores except for those in Western Australia on June 9.
