Tesco shoppers rush to Aldi and Lidl after popular items 'banned' from supermarkets

Tesco yesterday released a full list of popular products that are now 'banned' from stores because of a price row. A major supplier has pulled all of its products from the supermarket's shelves.

Tesco said it would not pass on "unjustifiable price increases" to its customers. Now Heinz has halted supply to all of its stores.

It is understood that Heinz has paused supply to the UK’s biggest supermarket chain, leading to gaps on shelves across the brand’s products. Tesco’s website shows that products including Beanz 4x415g, Sticky Barbecue Sauce 500g, Salad Cream 605g, Baked Beans & Pork Sausages 200g, Beanz No Added Sugar 4x415g Snap Pots 4x200g, Beanz No Added Sugar 200g and Chicken Noodle Soup 400g are unavailable.

Laura Shephard said: "I stopped buying Heinz a long time ago if you shop about and try different brands then you will find a cheaper alternative! Tesco's own tomato soup is lovely. I wouldn't pay £1.40 for a tin of soup."
