As a result of a trade dispute over price rises, Heinz goods have been removed off Tesco’s shelves.
The grocery operator has said that it “would not pass on unjustified pricing rises” to its patrons.
Many cherished Heinz items are currently unavailable since it is thought that Kraft Heinz, the company that produces Heinz products, has suspended supplies to the shop.
Family favorites include Beanz 4x415g, Sticky Barbecue Sauce 500g, Salad Cream 605g, Baked Beans & Pork Sausages 200g, Snap Pots 4x200g, Beanz No Added Sugar 4x415g, and Chicken Noodle Soup 400g are reportedly not available on the retailer’s website.
With its mix of Aldi Price Match, Low Everyday Prices, and Clubcard Prices, Tesco, according to a spokeswoman for the company, offers consumers outstanding value while keeping the cost of the weekly buy in control.
A Kraft Heinz spokesman also suggested price had been at the heart of the issue.
He said that many customers are living on tight budgets due to the “difficult economic climate” and rising commodity and manufacturing expenses.
We always consider how we can offer value through pricing, size, and packing so that customers can enjoy the items they know and trust at a price point that works within their budgets without sacrificing quality, he continued.
According to Kraft Heinz, it was “confident in a positive settlement” and “working closely with Tesco to address the matter as swiftly as possible.”
