Heinz confirms it has discontinued a handy teatime staple leaving shoppers devastated
HEINZ has confirmed that a popular teatime favourite has been discontinued, leaving some shoppers gutted.
The healthy snack, often put on toast, is no longer being produced, the company said.
Some customers contacted Heinz after noticing that tins of Heinz Organic Baked Beans were missing from supermarket shelves.
One wrote on X/Twitter: “Out of curiosity, have the Organic Baked Beans been withdrawn? No one selling them any more in NI.
“Got all excited when I found them still listed on the website and told me I could buy them online, but no – not there either.”
The company replied: “The Heinz Organic Beans have recently been discontinued.”
The shopper responded with three crying emojis.
Another disappointed customer on Facebook said: “Really not happy as these were our go-to beans.”
Another wrote: “Hey Heinz! Bring back your organic baked beans! They were the BEST.”
While the beans are no longer available to buy on the Heinz website or on supermarket websites, some stores might still have some tins in stock, so check with your local shop and you might still be in luck.
As an alternative, your supermarket might also have its own organic baked beans in stock.
For example, Tesco and M&S make their own organic beans, which both cost £1.
Mr Organic Organic Baked Beans cost £1.65 at Amazon and Ocado.
Last month, we reported that Heinz also stopped producing its popular Piccalilli Pickle condiment.
A shopper noticed the pickle was missing from the shelves and contacted Heinz on X, asking: “Hi I’m in Ireland and your piccalilli has disappeared from our supermarkets.
“Can you tell me when we can expect it back??
“Couldn’t find any in Northern Ireland recently either?”
Heinz replied to the customer saying the condiment had been discontinued.
The disappointed shopper added: “OMG what a bad decision.”
Plus, Heinz Ploughman’s Pickle has also disappeared from shelves after being discontonied.
How to save money 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.
