McDonald's in the United Kingdom has long been reported to have a staff shortage related to Brexit, and in addition, a supply chain delay due to the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) has caused bottled beverages and milk at 1,300 stores in the country. The offer of shakes has stopped.

A McDonald's spokeswoman said on Tuesday, August 24, 2021, 'Like many distributors, we are facing supply chain problems and some product offerings have been affected.
