The only North American plant that distributes Pringles and Torengos chips was damaged in last weekend’s deadly and destuctive tornadoes. The plant, located in Jackson Tennessee, has lost power and also has damage to its roof. None of the 200 employees working at the time were injured but for safety’s sake production was immediately halted. It has not been decided when production will resume. Roads in the area were badly affected as well. Indeed the entire county of Madison is under a state of emergency.Authorities stress that SFGs must remain calm in the wake of this news. There is no real reason for panic since analysts predict there is “a six-week supply in the pipeline”. They also remind us that the shelf life of a canister of Pringles is 15 months.
