It’s been vine for me old fruit, but maybe the suppliers are playing ketchup.
I would retort, but my puns are not a gazpacho on yours.

Just far enough away from LDC
Waitrose at canary wharf didn't have any yesterday (I looked as was unable to get any of this weeks tesco delivery)

However I did get some from a Tesco express near Brick Lane last night. Napolina at 1.50 per tube.

And here is the story (also in mirror and other sites)

I love that one of the sources in that article is Tomato news, exactly the sort of publication I'd expect to see on HIGNFY

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.
I had to go to Asda where they had plenty, guess Tesco are just struggling with their suppliers

This is no laughing matter. I’m going to passata time like this
I hope it hasn't caused any beef with the suppliers. That would be the cherry on the icing on the cake!
