Restaurants across Toronto are cutting lettuce from their menus due to a supply shortage and elevated prices.
Fast-food chain Subway has also said lettuce is temporarily unavailable at some of their restaurants, and Swiss Chalet’s Canadian division said its garden and Caesar salads are currently not available, reports www.iheartradio.ca
The lettuce shortage is reportedly being driven by a supply issue in California.
Restaurants Canada COO Kelly Higginson told the Canadian Press that a major lettuce-growing area in the sunny state was hit by a virus and their crops were “decimated.”
