Rice Krispies are the latest victim of US supply-chain troubles.
Shoppers around the country have taken to social media to probe the absence of the Kellogg Co cereal brand from their grocery-store shelves. The company confirmed the problems, citing a temporary shortage due to manufacturing constraints.
“We do not have an estimated date on when it will be back in stock but can assure you, we’re working as fast as we can to get it back on store shelves,†Rice Krispies said on Twitter.
There is a temporary shortage due to supply constraints in manufacturing. We do not have an estimated date on when it will be back in stock but can assure you, we’re working as fast as we can to get it back on store shelves. We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused.
Separately, Kellogg announced Friday a leadership transition for the company’s supply chain. Rodrigo Lance, who currently serves as vice president for supply chain in North America, will succeed global supply-chain head Alistair Hirst. Hirst is retiring later this year after working at the company since 1984.
Lance will assume the role at a challenging time. The Battle Creek, Michigan-based manufacturer experienced several hits to its cereal production
last year.
