These Popular Fast-Food Chains Are Struggling With Unexpected Shortages

3. Starbucks

In early June, a leaked internal memo from Starbucks revealed the chain is experiencing major shortages of several important ingredients and will be putting as many as 25 menu items on temporary hiatus due to the unreliable supply. But a Starbucks spokesperson told Reuters the shortages are temporary and vary from store to store. A Poughkeepsie, N.Y. store said they were most recently out of iced green tea, cinnamon dolce syrup, and spinach, feta, and egg white wraps.
