The candy cane is joining the list of shortages this Christmas
"As you walk through a lot of stores you won't see the quantity and quality of items you are accustomed to seeing," Patrick Penfield, professor of supply chain practice at Syracuse University's Whitman School of Management, told citing cream cheese, peppermint, and imported foods as examples of holiday items impacted by the crisis.
The peppermint crunch has not just hit candy sellers but anyone using the ingredient in their food preparation, like speciality coffee maker Park Avenue Coffee in Missouri. "I mean, we order peppermint in November. We always order peppermint in November and it always comes in, you know, the first week in December, we're good to go," owner Dale Schotte toldThe knock-on effect of the supply chain crisis means the peppermint shortage could spill over.
"We can't really do a gingerbread house without a candy cane tree, a candy cane door, or candy cane anything," Cohen told The Post.Subscribe to push notificationsNOW WATCH: Why 1 million pigs could be euthanized due to COVID-19-related supply chain issues
