PepsiCo Australia, which produces several potato chip brands including Smith’s, Twisties, Sunbites, Burger Rings, and Tasty Toobs, warned that it may be several months before supermarket shelves return to normal after the retailers were hit by an unexpected product shortage as a result of the country’s ongoing weather and supply chain problems.

“High levels of rainfall have impacted some potato crops, and while we are managing potato supply, we have been working closely with our retail partners to ensure our brands continue to be widely available. Consumers can still have confidence that their favorite chips will be available at their local retailers in the coming months,” a spokesperson for the retail giant told news.com.au.

Major Australian supermarkets like Coles, Woolworths, and Aldi are reportedly affected by the potato chip shortage, with availability varying across the nation.

“Due to supply chain issues affecting suppliers, some brands of potato chips may be unavailable. We have plenty of snacking options available for customers whose favorite chip brand may not be on the shelf when they shop,” a Coles spokesperson told the same media source.

Since massive amounts of crops were “wiped out” by wild weather earlier in the year, farmers have been warning of a national potato shortage for months. Hot chips, specifically the precut and frozen variety, have been impacted by the current potato issue for several months, and restaurants have warned customers that the salty snack will cost more.
