The bird flu outbreak has just hit pie lovers where it hurts: Tippin’s in Kansas City, Kan., said Wednesday it had suspended production of its French silk pies because of the shortage of egg products.
Tippin’s produces and ships about 6,000 French silk pies a week, according to a press release. It is the company’s top seller.
“We are currently looking into alternative formulations for our French silk pies, but the ingredients in this pie are very special and not easily replaced,” said Tippin’s president Mark Boyer. “At Tippin’s, we believe that if you are going to change anything, it has to be as good as or better than current.”
