Tesco Playing God

Matingbee

Try and buy Branston tinned products at Tesco and you will be disappointed. Tesco are now boycotting all Branston products from Princes Foods. The only Branston product they now stock is Branston Pickle made by Mizkan Foods. I can't find Branston Ketchup in any of the Tesco Stores I have visited. So much for customer choice. We and many others I know are now boycotting Tesco. Why not join us. Heinz and Tesco should not have a monopoly of the Baked Beans, and Ketchup market, the Branston products are far better tasting than Heinz or Tesco's own branded products :mad:

And they stock Crosse and Brackwell Branston Pickle, and relish and branston ketchup.

Why is Tesco boycotting Princes, is there a feud ?? <confused>

Iceland sells Branston 39p cheaper than Tesco and also sells Crosse & Blackwell and Branston baked beans as well as Heinz.

They are not boycotting them at all, Tesco stock Princes tuna, corned beef,
fruit cocktail etc x

Tinned Branston probably doesn't sell so Tesco chose to drop it.

There are 1001 products out there and not every supermarket can stock every product in every container.

Yeah. Right on. Don't boycott Tesco for killing the high street and profiteering at the expense of everybody, boycott them because they don't sell Branston Ketchup!! The b@5t@rds!

Boycotting certain products doesnt equal playing God!

I don't know about other branston tinned stuff, but I can't see them selling many branston beans at full price. These are on offer regularly and people stock up on them so they don't need to buy them at full price.
