Australia faces an egg shortage, and McDonald's has shortened its breakfast service in the country.

McDonald's announced on Tuesday that due to the outbreak of bird flu in Australia, which caused about 1.5 million laying hens to be culled and resulted in an egg shortage, McDonald's breakfast supply time in Australia has been shortened by 90 minutes. Previously, Murray Watt, Australia's Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, said that Australia has been struggling with outbreaks of avian influenza virus in recent months, which has led to the culling of about 1 million affected laying hens to restrict the spread of the disease. McDonald's announced on Tuesday that, citing industry challenges, breakfast will be temporarily provided until 10:30 a.m. in various parts of Australia, instead of noon.
