No Heinz beans in Tesco's 😂can you really call yourself a supermarket if you don't stock baked beans well done Heinz if they won't pay tell them to jog on I can't wait till they have no milk to sell either maybe it will be sooner rather than later letts hope so !

They still sell baked beans, and have suggested to customers that they buy Branstons or their own brand beans (which I always thought were made by Heinz anyway) instead.

Heinz want 100% price increase ,
Really yeeessshh
what i can never understand with shop own brands that it some cases are half the price & even less is how is this possible?
is the brands we all love have to be that much more dearer in the first place?
The products are not that much different.
Big Big profit being made somewhere by these companies of the shops own brands are a lot less

Have you tasted Tesco own brand beans Yuk they should be done under the trade descriptions act

Not for many years, and I was sure the 'blue stripe' ones tasted identical to Heinz then. The main reason for the Tesco using corporate branding is so that they can change suppliers to whoever is cheapest, so the products are likely to change slightly as different tenders win the contract.

On a different scale entirely I had a similar discussion with a local up market deli who wanted my Honey. I told them the price and they said they would only pay a £ less than I was asking. As a consequence they had no honey on their shelves. I did suggest they would be better off paying my price to have something to put on the shelves bearing in mind their mark up would have been close to 25% at my price.

This is certainly the case with 'value' cheeses.
You just don't know what you are going to get.
Sometimes they are fantastic old tasty cheese that needed to be sold or they can be tasteless crap that hasn't had chance to mature.

Heinz cost more because being 100% consistent in bean size, taste etc. takes effort.
Lidls beans used to be very cheap but I believe they used all the beans that were too big for heinz.

I agree blue stripe used to be as good as Heinz not anymore tho very poor these days and the little sausages even the dog won't eat them !
