7 things you can no longer buy from Tesco — for now

Britain’s biggest supermarket Tesco and goods manufacturer Unilever are allegedly locked in a stand-off over pricing, leaving UK customers unable to buy a huge number of their favourite brands.

The situation arose when Unilever reportedly asked Tesco to agree to a 10% price rise for its products, in order to compensate for the massive decrease in the value of the pound since the Brexit vote.

Tesco has so far refused to pay up, and deliveries have stopped. They have now taken all Unilever products from their online shop, and although supermarkets are still selling Unilever brands, they are reportedly running low.

Take a look at some of the brands which are affected.


Ben & Jerry’s — The ice cream brand is one of the most popular in the UK, not just at Tesco but across the country. However currency fluctuations has actually hurt Unilever in the past, as far back as 2014.


PG Tips — The brand is one of the most iconic British tea brands and commands around a quarter of the UK’s market share for tea.

Hellmann’s — The brand’s mayonnaise is so popular that four different versions of the sauce dominate the top sales spot across the country.
