A nationwide shortage of a key McDonal's ingredient has left some branches forced to 'ration', after the fast-food chain has been impacted by a shortage of tomatoes - Wales Online reports.
The recently returning Big Tasty and Big Tasty with Bacon has seen the effects of which, reports Birmingham Live - with the highly-rated products being served with one slice of tomato as opposed to the usual two.
A McDonald’s spokesperson said: “We are currently experiencing a shortage in our supply of tomatoes. As a result, the Big Tasty and the Big Tasty with Bacon are being served with one slice of tomato rather than two.

"We apologise for any inconvenience, and thank our customers for their patience."
The Big Tasty only launched earlier this month and is only available for a limited time at participating restaurants. And once all stocks have gone, they are gone.
Burger fans are urged to remember that the last special McDonald's burger, the Chicken Big Mac, ran out after just one week. If you want a Big Tasty, you better move fast.
The Big Tasty BBQ has an RRP of £6.89 for a medium meal, £5.39 for a single burger. Costs will vary depending on the branch, however. It's made with 100 per cent British and Irish beef topped with two slices of Emmental cheese, bacon, lettuce, crispy onions and Big Tasty BBQ sauce inside a sesame seed bun.
