Why Heinz Bakes Beans Have Been Removed from Tesco

Food industry superpowers Tesco and Heinz have fallen out over the increase in prices which means there could be shortages of some popular products on the shelves.

Customers have not been able to buy some classic cupboard staples like baked beans, tomato soup and even ketchup online in some Tesco stores.

Kraft Heinz told the BBC that its production costs were rising but that the company behind the popular products is working with Tesco to resolve the situation quickly.

Over the past few months, shoppers have noticed a rise in the price of everyday cupboard items. It comes as food manufacturers have been reporting rising costs, including for energy and commodities.

Tesco however, in a statement said, “We will not pass on unjustifiable price increases to our customers”.
