KFC switches to cabbage mix in Australia due to lettuce shortage

The switch will affect burgers and wraps in Australia [File:Reuters]

“Due to the recent floods in NSW [New South Wales] and QLD [Queensland] we’re currently experiencing a lettuce shortage. So, we’re using a lettuce and cabbage blend on all products containing lettuce until further notice,” the company told customers in a statement, according to  AFP news agency.
