The most in-demand item on your supply chain breakfast menu should be a heaping scoop of agility.

Whether your company sticks to traditional fare like eggs and bacon, or ventures into more exotic breakfast items, your supply chain is the difference between coaxing your customers into a lucrative morning routine or making a stop by your restaurant a one-time curiosity.

Wendy's, which purchases more than 250 million pounds of chicken annually, also said it would commit to specific goals for the reduction of antibiotics important to humans in pork and beef production in 2017.

Wendy's and its chicken suppliers have been working to eliminate all antibiotics important to human medicine from chicken production, the company told Reuters on Thursday.

Wendy’s Hit by Massive Cyber Attack, Places Blame on Service Providers’ Remote Access

Wendy’s has now arranged to offer fraud consultation and identity restoration services to all customers who used a payment card at a potentially affected restaurant during the time when the restaurant may have been affected.

Wendy’s first reported unusual payment card activity affecting some restaurants in February 2016. In May, the company confirmed evidence of malware being installed on some restaurants’ point-of-sale systems, and worked to disable it. On June 9, the company discovered additional malicious cyber activity involving other restaurants. That malware has also been disabled in all franchisee restaurants where it was discovered.

Local sourcing adds complexity, increases risk and fragments the supply chain, according to John Quelch of Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Investor Group Pushes Big U.S. And U.K. Restaurants To Cut Antibiotic Use

The move follows warnings from the World Health Organization that the world is moving towards a post-antibiotic era in which many infections would no longer be treatable because of the overuse of antibiotics.

Eighty percent of antibiotics produced in the U.S. are given to livestock, the coalition said in a statement, adding that failure to confront their 'irresponsible' use threatens both health and investor returns.

Chipotle Closes Massachusetts Store Over Norovirus

The move appears to be a preemptive one, in the wake of the company's well publicized and damaging E. coli outbreak late last year.

In the case of the Billerica, Mass., restaurant, no customers have yet been reported sick. WBZ-TV reports that the company closed the restaurant after an employee was diagnosed with norovirus and two others reported similar symptoms.
