‘Majorly disappointed’ cry Heinz fans as it confirms ‘favourite’ sauce has been discontinued
SHOPPERS are “majorly disappointed” after their “favourite” sauce was pulled from the shelves.
Heinz fans were disheartened to learn a popular condiment had been discontinued.
A baffled customer asked the company on X/formerly Twitter: “Why can’t I find any Heinz Vegan Salad Cream anywhere? Is there a shortage? Is it being repackaged?”
A spokesperson sadly responded: “Hi Sandra, it has recently been discontinued.”
Fans were quick to express their frustration over the loss on social media.
One less than impressed shopper penned: “Majorly disappointed today to find out Heinz Vegan Salad Cream Discontinued Salad Cream, has always been my favourite since a child.
“You’d of thought the Vegan recipe would be cheaper to produce why use eggs if you don’t need to??”
Another wrote: “Quick @HellmannsUK, get on this gap in the market as @HeinzUK have been utterly ridiculous and are discontinuing their #vegan salad cream for some random reason.
“Save our sandwiches, please!”
A third added: “It’s a crazy decision. More people than ever are going vegan and your sales would have been better if there had been more availability.
“I don’t understand why you don’t warn people so they can stock up. The shelves are empty already.”
“Even more devastating than the vegan applewood cheese recipe change, because there’s not even an alternative! Please reconsider,” agreed a fourth.
Someone else thought it was “terrible news”.
It comes as Heinz also left fans devastated after discontinuing a handy tea time staple.
The company has opted to remove Five Beans Snap Pots from supermarket shelves across the UK despite their popularity with Brits.
But, they have launched a new flavour of baked beans – but it’s sure to divide opinion.
The tin can connoisseurs have teamed up with cheese maker Cathedral City to launch ‘Cheesy Bean’.
Meanwhile, Heinz fans were saddened to learn about the discontinuation of their “favourite” soup.
How to save on your supermarket shop
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they’ve been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you’ll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you’ll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching “finest” or “luxury” products and instead going for “own” or value” type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they’re misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you’re on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
