There is another shortage ahead of this holiday week
- candy canes!
The announcement comes as another result of the
supply chain issues that have been a problem for months in the country.
Plus, the production of peppermint in the United
States has dropped about 25% in the last decade, according to the U.S. Department
of Agriculture.
Many
stores received low inventory and sold out quickly.
