We have grown accustomed to hearing about shortages in today’s economy. According to Georgia-based Coca-Cola’s chief executives, there could be a Coke shortage coming soon, too.

Like many companies, it is facing hardships when it comes to labor and shipping. These issues have caused various distribution efforts, especially internationally. But don’t start buying your soda in bulk just yet. So far, North American isn’t expected to be as affected by the issues.

“We maintained strong momentum in North America despite the COVID resurgence in many states [that led to] to stalling consumer sentiment and supply chain challenges that resulted in both missed opportunities and incremental costs,” said Coca Cola CEO James Quincy in a call with other executives from the soft drink giant.

Quincy emphasized that the company is working closely with bottlers and other suppliers to ensure there aren’t any dramatic shortages in supply.
