The sad news announced on April 28 says that fries are away on "annual leave to find themselves", and wedges will replace their potato cousins in the meantime. The wedges comes in three flavours - plain Wedges (S$4.35), Cheese Wedges (S$5.75) and Golden Cheddar Wedges (S$5.75).
Supply chain disruptions during the pandemic resulted in a shortage of many commodities. The latest one to join the ranks is the beloved potato.

When KFC announced they were testing fries dusted with their 11 herbs and spices, fans overwhelmingly rejoiced, but now, they're learning that the special menu addition has come with a cost, and that cost is the end of potato wedges.
This is because we have been experiencing a delay in the importation of our fries due to the global freight crisis, and not a lack of the Russet Burbank variant. As economies worldwide gradually begin to reopen, the demand for fries increases which renders our supply incapable to cope.
The Russet potato is also ideal for making French fries due to its high scratch and low moisture content. So, the potato shortage of 2022 has also led to the French fry shortage of 2022 because there aren't enough Russet potatoes to go around.
That's because, first and foremost, McDonald's does not offer free refills on french fries. According to Mashed, there is only one location — in St. Joseph, Mo., where free refills are an official policy.
Fans of KFC's french fries are in for another round of disappointment as the fast food chain has announced that they're out of fries again. The sad news announced on April 28 says that fries are away on "annual leave to find themselves", and wedges will replace their potato cousins in the meantime.
On 24 January 2022, McDonald's announced that they have stopped offering Large fries due to a supply shortage.
They were discontinued in the United States in 2012, but continued to be sold in some markets, such as Italy. In August 2014, they were reintroduced for a limited time offering (LTO) in North America, leading to their permanent re-addition to the menu in March 2015 in over 30 countries globally.

KFC THROWS IT BACK TO 1970 WITH 30 CENT SECRET RECIPE FRIES ON NATIONAL FRENCH FRY DAY.
Unfortunately, KFC chips aren't vegan. They're cooked in the same oil as some of the chicken fryers, preventing them from being vegan; this is why the KFC vegan meal is only a burger and a drink.
Instead, they are made up of potatoes, vegetable oil (which contains canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, and natural beef flavor with wheat and milk derivatives), dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate, and salt.
Yes, it might be a shocker but McDonald's French fries are actually made with real potatoes.
Yes, it's true: Jack in the Box serves up the very best fries for your waistline! This crispy dish's ultra-low calorie, fat and sodium count is straight-up impressive, earning it the #1 spot on our list!
As health concerns over saturated fat grew in the 1990s, McDonald's finally made the switch to vegetable oil. Unfortunately, customers noticed that the fries didn't taste how they used to. To mimic the chain's original oil blend, the oil is laced with natural flavoring to replicate that mouthwatering smell.
McDonald's not only fries the potatoes in a mix of oils – canola, soybean and hydrogenated soybean – but also adds natural beef flavor derived from beef fat that contains wheat and milk derivatives for flavor, citric acid for preservation and dimethylpolysiloxane to reduce oil foaming and extend the quality of the oil ...

This fried-chicken chain based in Louisville, Kentucky, has more than 22,000 locations in 36 countries. And, not only does KFC have a free-refill policy, it has a sense of humor about it.
McDonald's has no such policy on its site, however, and the company confirmed to Thrillist in an email that free fry refills are not a standard policy.
According to Business Insider, nearly half of Americans in a survey reported seeing a shortage of meat and eggs in the beginning of 2022. It might be time to switch to vegetarian dinners (sans the eggs) for a while to combat this food shortage.
