“We’re experiencing some shortages of a small number of potato chip products due to the unseasonably wet weather impacting potato crops,” Woolworths Group chief executive Brad Banducci said.
“We’re working closely with our suppliers to manage this and apologise to our customers for any inconvenience.”
Woolworths also said customers may see shortages of some frozen foods over the coming weeks.
“The unseasonably wet weather is also impacting some of our frozen food suppliers, which may result in shortages of some products over the coming weeks,” Mr. Banducci said
“We’re working closely with our suppliers to manage this and apologise to our customers for any inconvenience.”
