Crisis with EGGO WAFFLES

[lilacmay]

Has anyone notice there is a crisis with eggo waffles or is it just our little town that we have noticed it.

The first sign of a crisis was the signs that went up in our stores Limited no more then 3 per person once out we are OUT.

The second sign there is a crisis shortage bare shelves and a sign saying coming soon. hmmm!!:shrug7:

The third sign of a crisis was announced on our news today there is a Eggo Crisis going on due to the fact of a plant in Atlanta that was flooded and full production will resume by middle of the year 2010
OK
Which is true I found the following on their website Kellogg Company - Eggo FAQ

Eggo recently experienced supply constraints caused by flood damage at our bakery in Atlanta. In addition, we've been making significant equipment and repairs in our largest waffle bakery. Unfortunately, this is taking longer than anticipated.

Eggo is working around the clock to bring everyone's favorite waffles back to store shelves as quickly as possible. We hope to regain full distribution of Eggo products by the middle of 2010. This is a top priority for Kellogg Company.
For more information, call 866-971-3320. Thank you for your patience during this time, and we apologize for any inconvenience.

Is it just my family going through Eggo with drawl

It was bad when I find a sale for the Eggo's only to find out I can only get 3, well we sort of went around that I got three and then later my husband got 3 (hey, what can I say if it is Eggo crisis we need to stock what we can?) Now in our house the Eggo is sacred no one eats Eggo unless they have gone two days without a Eggo Waffle (harsh I know though we got to survive this crisis and stretch them out)



Well I do apologize this a little long though I am just hoping my family isn't the only family being affected by this Eggo Crisis's. :sad:

I guess it is a happy moment for ole waffle iron, He gets all the years of dust and grime brushed off, lovely and tenderly oiled, and excitedly waits for some good ole fashion use and just before the holidays. OH Boy, I think he is more excited then us for the day of reckoning.

Yeah, one of the non-chain stores I shop has had a sign up for months now about the Eggo shortage. I noticed a few times at Sams, they didn't have the big box on the shelf.

We've seen the signs up here but the only thing thats been oos is the chocolate chip variety. Everything else is always full. I figure it might happen eventually but I'd prefer a fresh waffle off the iron anyday so its not too harsh in my world.

I saw that too! I'm glad it's not a food safety issue. I bet they come out with really good coupons when everything is back online and running smoothly.

I've seen the signs around here, too. I haven't searched for a specific variety...but, there have always been Eggo's on the shelf behind the sign. :shrug7:

my grocery store had NONE on the shelves and the signs were posted.

I know I saw at stores here in MA signs saying there was a shortage of Eggo products. I really thought this was some plan to jack the price up. But I haven't noticed they've been wiped out yet in our stores. Hope not, i have some coupons to use up before next week.

Are you serious? A freaking shortage of eggo products.

LOL are we really that worried about waffles? I mean seriously? So worried that they have to make signs and all. LOL

I saw the signs a few weeks ago at my Food Lion. That day they had none and the next they were fully stocked. I stocked up a while back when they were doing the rebate. 10 boxes goes a long way in our house w/ just me and DH.

Yep, here in Indiana that sign has been up for some time now and the past few times I have went the shelves are EMPTY. Nothing from Eggo brand. Thats such a shame, my son loves them. I guess it was a good thing the last time they were on sale in early summer and I had q's I bought around 20 boxes. I think I still have 4 boxes left, so they need to hurry up.

I cant run out until school is done.
