Packaging Crunch Forces Domino’s To Reduce Garlic Bread And Taco Servings

On April 26, 2026, Domino’s Pizza operator Jubilant FoodWorks confirmed that several outlets are unable to serve garlic bread and tacos consistently. The issue stems not from ingredient shortages but from a lack of packaging boxes, highlighting the vulnerability of supply chains to global fuel disruptions.

Packaging Shortage Explained

Employees at multiple outlets explained that corrugated board boxes used for garlic bread and tacos are unavailable. These boxes rely on kraft paper, adhesives, and inks derived from crude oil. Recent geopolitical tensions in West Asia have disrupted petroleum product supplies, impacting LPG production and packaging manufacturing.

Impact On Customers

While pizzas are being prioritized for available packaging, smaller items like garlic bread and tacos are either reduced in servings or temporarily unavailable. Online orders for these items have also been restricted. Customers have reported being informed directly at outlets about the shortage.

Company Response

Jubilant FoodWorks acknowledged LPG-linked supply constraints earlier this month but emphasized that overall operations remain stable. The company is working to reduce dependency on LPG and explore alternative energy sources, though packaging bottlenecks continue to affect select menu items.
