    Aren't shops allowed to sell whatever they like ?

    I love Branston beans, much nicer than Heinz. I get mine in Asda !

    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:

    Cool story, bro.

    I've had those Branston beans. They were rank. It's no wonder Tesco don't sell them. I bet they could only shift about two tins a week and that was to blind old dears who couldn't tell they weren't Heinz.

    Princes is owned by Mitsubishi

    I believe when Moses came down from the mount the 11th commandment related to the selling of Branston products in supermarkets.

    This one was dropped from the final 10 due to the market forces of the time

    When I read the thread title, I thought Tesco were doing a 2 for 1 offer on designer babies.
