Is it just Tesco Durrington which has been out of tomato puree for a good month or more now?

What the hell is going on?

(Looking forward to blame being equally apportioned to Brexit, Starmer and Crystal Palace)

I'm probably being facetious.

It’s been vine for me old fruit, but maybe the suppliers are playing ketchup.

No shortage. New tubes of it (20% smaller and costing 30% more) will be on the shelves any day soon!

There's no shortage, it's just been moved for Halloween, Christmas etc.

Purchased tomato puree in Sainsburys last week. no problem at all.

Keir Starmer or BREXIT

That should cover it

Tesco in Burgess Hill are out of their own brand version, so my missus has grudgingly bought the fancier ones. (I.e. more expensive)

Seems like just a Tesco thing, can't get it up here in Epsom either but Aldi had loads, maybe Tesco have pissed off another supplier

The tomato puree shelf, immediately above the passata and tinned tomatoes shelves in my Tesco, has been empty on every visit I've made for weeks.

Even the more expensive Napolina tubes have been nowhere to be seen.

I shall check out alternative grocery vendors.

Yet another sign of the gentrification of Worthing?
