Tesco Woodside Farms Meat

Just back from my weekly Tesco shop and very disappointed to find the chiller cabinet that used to contain the Woodside Farms Pork chops now contains just Tesco Lamb. Looking in the Pork section could only find the Tesco range of Pork products (a lot more expensive and thinner chops). I asked one of the staff nearby to be told that the Woodside Farms products have been discontinued. Can anyone tell me is this true or only a supply issue?

    Woodside Farm Tesco" refers to Woodside Farms, a brand of pork products sold by Tesco, which faced controversy in 2017 for being a "fake farm" brand that potentially misled consumers and confused them with a real farm named Woodside Farm in Nottinghamshire, owned by a pig farmer named Richard Baugh. Baugh threatened legal action, and farming organizations condemned the practice of using fictitious farm names to sell meat, which could be imported, not just from the named location.  

    They will probably just just come up with another misleading farm name to dupe people again and put the prices up.
