McDonald’s has delivered supersized news for customers, with its breakfast hours close to returning to normal.
Egg shortages brought on by the bird flu forced the fast food giant to end its breakfast offerings at 10.30am, rather than midday, for more than a month.
The measure was implemented in July, but in an update on Wednesday McDonald’s said the morning window had been expanded by an hour.

“We want to thank our customers for their patience and understanding during the temporary changes to our brekkie menu.
“A huge thank you also to our network of Aussie farmers, producers and suppliers, who ensured we could keep fresh, 100 per cent Aussie eggs on the menu in our restaurants, nationwide.”
