Red Flags – Get the scoop on shortages

🎇Short Ship Sparks Notes🎇

• EGG FREE RUN O-3 "CONESTOGA” 15 DZ - The producer is short on BROWN conestoga’s so we are moving to WHITE for the next ~2 weeks.

• BUTTER STIRLING SHEETS - Production delay. Arrival expected today!

• STRACCIATELLA - This was a big seller over the long weekend, and on top of that, they are experiencing a production delay. The estimated time of arrival for the shipment to reach us is this week (Thursday), so we will be back in stock for Friday deliveries.

• POTATO BAKER (code 3913) - Canadian Russets will be unavailable for about a month. But don't worry, we're switching over to fresh new crop USA russets this weekend!

• WATERCRESS RED - We are expected to restock on Wednesday. Sorry for any shortage you may be experiencing

• CORN FROZEN (code 7473) - On going delays from the vendors causing this gap. We are set to be back in stock with no more shortages as of today!

• PLUM YELLOW ONTARIO - We had some quality challenges last week. These issues were attributed to the conclusion of the season, which resulted in the fruit ripening more rapidly due to elevated sugar levels.

• BROCCOLI CROWN - Quality issues caused us to hold back product and short customers last week. Looks like these issues are behind us now!

• ASPARAGUS - The market is back on track and stable. The quality is excellent on the new Mexican product coming in.

• MUSHROOM WHITE BUTTON - We sold out over the long weekend unexpectedly. #1s and #2s Creminis are being prioritized for growth over Buttons by growers.

• RASPBERRY - Quality issues caused us to hold back product and short customers last week. Looks like these issues are behind us now!

• GREEN BEANS - Quality issues caused us to hold back product and short customers last week. Looks like these issues are behind us now!
