Your McDonald’s hamburger is no longer 100 percent Canadian beef.
Supply chain disruptions due to COVID-19 cases among processing plant workers are affecting both the billions of hamburgers sold- and the prices paid to local beef producers.
Gerald Rollins, Advisory Councillor for Renfrew County for the Beef Farmers of Ontario says a number of negative factors have combined to produce a perfect storm of depressed prices.
Rollins says culled cows leaving Dairy production aren’t a major issue to the processing backlog.
