Bird Flu Forces McDonald's Australia to Cut Breakfast Hours

Egg shortages from avian influenza outbreaks lead to temporary reduction in breakfast service hours at McDonald's locations across the country.

  • McDonald's Australia now serves breakfast until 10:30 a.m. instead of midday due to egg supply issues.
  • The H7 avian influenza has affected 11 poultry farms, leading to the culling of over a million birds.
  • Authorities assure that less than 10% of egg-laying hens are affected, but some supermarkets have imposed purchase limits.
  • Government and industry officials are working to redirect egg supplies to areas with the greatest need.
  • Food safety organizations confirm that properly handled and cooked eggs and chicken remain safe to eat.
