Hi. I'm so sorry, but yes, this is now discontinued in all stores. Liz
They posted: "@Tesco Are you discontinuing "Foresight Pease pudding 410g tins" in all stores or just some?
"It was in Tesco Bursledon Towers Southampton, discounted to clear (brought the lot!). Is it being discontinued by Princes?"

Foresight Pease Pudding had proved popular among shoppers with it boasting a 4.3 star rating on the Tesco website.
One person, reviewing the ready-cooked vegetable product, said: "Pretty authentic Pease Pudding - excellent with pork, ham etc, and also as a meat-free healthy staple, packed with protein. Highly recommended.
"It's been out of stock for a while now - please, Tesco, get some more in!"
Another added: "Just like home made. Delicious and highly nutritious."

While a third person, describing the Pease Pudding as a "delicous retro product", wrote: "Absolutely delicious! It's a bit like mashed potato with carrot; that's the nearest I can describe the flavour.
"I saw it in a chap's basket in the queue at the till about four years ago and I was intrigued by the retro look of it. He went and got me a tin.
"When I tried it I loved it. Now I'm shopping online so glad to see I can still buy it. I usually have it with home made roast potatoes, vegetables and a veggie burger. It's vegan too!"

Tesco meal deal price rise branded 'a national outrage' by MP
Tesco meal deal price rise branded 'a national outrage' by MP One shopper declared the meal deals were "no longer deals anymore" Tesco announced its meal deals would, once again, be increasing in price (Image: GETTY) There's been public uproar after Tesco confirmed that its popular meal deal will soon cost up to £4.25, or £3.85 with a Clubcard. The price hike has triggered frustration online and even sparked political reaction. Liberal Democrat MP for Maidenhead, Joshua Reynolds, has branded the price increase a "national outrage" on social media platform X. The MP's remarks followed a distraught Tesco shopper posting: "Discovering that a Tesco meal deal will be £3.85 *with* a Clubcard from Thursday was truly devastating." Numerous social media users echoed the MP's anger over the meal deal price rise, with one person demanding the matter be addressed in parliament. The social media user commented: "This deserves to be mentioned in the PMQs.." Another worried Tesco customer remarked: "This is one of the very few times the Lib Dems have called for the recall of parliament, I can get behind." The price change follows an earlier increase in August 2024, when the cost of the beloved lunchtime option jumped from £3.40 to £3.60 for Clubcard holders and from £3.90 to £4 for customers without Clubcards, reports the Daily Star. A Tesco spokesperson commented: "Our meal deal remains great value and the ideal way to grab lunch on-the-go at just £3.85 for a main, snack and drink when bought with a Clubcard. "With more than 20m possible combinations, the Tesco meal deal has got something for every taste, from a classic Chicken Club Sandwich to Tesco Korean Style Chicken Dragon Rolls." However, the price alterations have left numerous Tesco patrons feeling let down, with several even threatening to "boycotting" the meal deal option following the cost hike.

Tesco raises price of meal deal by 25p
The chain said its meal deal has risen from £3.60 to £3.85 for Clubcard members, and from £4 to £4.25 for shoppers without a loyalty card. Some 80% of Tesco's customers use Clubcard when buying a lunchtime meal deal, the supermarket said. The loyalty scheme offers discounted prices on selected items and the opportunity for customers to earn points on their shopping. Most major supermarkets have their own version of a loyalty card, in a bid to retain customers at a time of fierce competition in the sector. Tesco's 'premium' meal deal has also risen from £5 to £5.50 for those with a Clubcard, and from £5.50 to £6 for those without. A spokeswoman for Tesco said its meal deal, which contains a main, snack and drink, 'remains great value' and was an 'ideal way to grab lunch on the go'. The most popular items are the chicken club sandwich for main, the egg protein pot as the snack, and a bottle of Coca-Cola. There are thought to be more than 20 million possible combinations of Tesco's meal deal. The price hike has come on the same day that Tesco signed a letter warning the Chancellor that food inflation was expected to reach 6% later this year. The letter, sent by the British Retail Consortium and signed by more than 60 retail bosses, said it was 'becoming more and more challenging' for firms to 'absorb the cost pressures we face'. The prices of certain items like coffee, tea, milk, eggs, chocolate and soft drinks have surged recently.
