I know it's not huge in the great as chrome of things at the moment but an elderly friend who has being isolati g for the past 12 wks +. Both her and her older sister have been trying to get Arrowroot Biscuits... We have been from shop to shop.... And looked online.. With everyone she knows looking out for them... Even shops that used to sell them do not anymore with no option yo restock... Could any one help please. Here is a short list of shops currently looking in. Tesco., Aldi., Lidl., Morrisons., Asda., Sainsburys., Waitrose., Local little shops, etc... Can anyone tell me if any of the biscuit manufacturers have stopped doing them. Or a shortage of basic ingredients..... Please help

    Here's the response from McVities 

    Thank you for contacting us about McVitie's Arrowroot.  I am very sorry that you are not able to find this product at the moment.

    Unfortunately, due to the situation with COVID-19 we have had to de-prioritise some of our lines, and this is one of the products that we are not currently producing.

    I am sorry for any disappointment caused but do hope that you understand and hopefully once we are fully up and running this product will return.

    Kind regards

    Lisa Richardson

    Like if you see gaps/no tickets for a product, then chances are production has ceased for this reason.
