Cream Cheese Shortage Plagues Junior’s Restaurant in NYC

Junior’s Cheesecake is experiencing some major issues because of a cream cheese shortage, according to CNN Business.

The problem meant the company was forced to pause cheesecake production Friday at its Burlington, New Jersey, bakery because it did not have the amount needed, owner Alan Rosen told CNN.

It opened again on Sunday following an excursion to get more, however, it will have to pause once more on Thursday, Rosen explained.

Cream cheese is a food that has become hard to find as food sellers try to meet increasing demand amid labor shortages and port congestions that have disrupted the supply chain.

Meanwhile, 75 percent of small businesses are being hurt by the supply chain crisis and 30 year high inflation, according to a recent CNBC survey.

Breitbart News reported:

Biden’s policies of paying individuals not to work with enhanced unemployment benefits of an additional $600 to $300 a month, along with waging war on the American energy market, has caused main street to incur larger supply prices and disruptions.

CNBC’s polling indicates 75 percent of small businesses are undergoing higher supply costs, up five percent from the third quarter. Moreover, 58 percent of small businesses are feeling the pinch of supply chain crisis, up three percent.

The cream cheese shortage was happening at a bad time because December is “our busiest month of the year,” Rosen told CNN.

To help remedy its shortage, Junior’s is working with Kraft Heinz, the company that owns Philadelphia.
