Kraft Heinz and Tesco reach agreement in pricing dispute

Kraft Heinz and Tesco reach agreement in pricing dispute

Kraft Heinz and Tesco have reached an agreement that will see Heinz products such as baked beans and tomato ketchup return to the retailer's shelves in the coming days. Last month, Kraft Heinz stopped supplying Tesco with some of its most popular products amid a row over pricing. The dispute began after Kraft Heinz tried to boost the prices it was charging the supermarket chain. Tesco resisted raising the prices of Heinz-branded products at a time of surging inflation. "Tesco and Heinz are pleased to have reached an agreement that will see the full range of Heinz products return to Tesco shelves and online, continuing to offer our customers great value on the nation’s favourite Heinz varieties," said Tesco and Heinz in a joint statement. “Lorries full of Heinz products including Heinz Tomato Ketchup and Heinz Beanz will hit the road shortly, and Tesco colleagues will be working hard to ensure shelves are filled again over the coming days. “With British summertime finally here, Tesco shoppers will be able to get all the essentials they need for their perfect summer salad or barbecue, including the Heinz varieties they know and love. It’s great to be back together.”
