Heinz baffles shoppers by axing popular sauce & giving it a totally different name – but eagle-eyed fans spot MAJOR flaw
HEINZ has baffled shoppers by squeezing out tartare sauce — and bringing in 'Fish and Chips Sauce' to re-plaice it.
The move is thought to be an attempt to make the French-style dip appeal to a wider audience.

Heinz baffled shoppers by axing tartare sauce and renaming it Fish and Chips sauce
Publicity blurb declares the new sauce provides 'a refreshing twist to every dish'.
It was launched yesterday with TikTok star Destiny Harold, known as the Chip Shop Diva.
But sharp-eyed Heinz fans called the switch codswallop.
They said it is just a rebrand, with both sauces having the same basic ingredients — including capers, dill and parsley.
One wrote online: 'Looks like tartare sauce for people who don't know what tartare sauce is.'
Another added: 'So, tartare sauce with a different label. Way to go for the creative department.'
Heinz's Tartare Sauce was scrapped from supermarkets in 2022 but is still available in some restaurants and online.
Its Fish and Chips Sauce sells for £3.40 for a 400g bottle.
Last night Heinz insisted: 'While traditional tartare sauce is made with gherkins and capers to create a tangier sauce, our new Fish and Chips sauce blends gherkins, onions, and fragrant herbs to create a herbier, creamier condiment. Think of it as Tartare 2.0!'
I tried the new tinned Heinz carbonara – it surprised me

Tax loophole: Decathlon expresses concern over potential CIR decrease in France
As the French government addressed the 2026 budget, the subject of tax credit cuts resurfaced within local media. Among these, a potential decrease in the CIR (Crédit d'Impôt Recherche) could significantly impact companies in the fashion and sports sectors, such as French sporting goods retailer Decathlon. Concerned by the issue, Decathlon voiced its apprehension. According to a document from the Haute Autorité pour la transparence de la vie publique (HATVP) dated March 21, 2025, Decathlon contacted parliamentary decision-makers to warn about the consequences of a reduction in the CIR. The sports retailer indicated this decrease would impact the 'innovation ecosystem in France and the competitiveness of French companies'. Research tax credit What is the CIR? In France, the CIR "aims to encourage companies to engage in research and development (R&D) activities", as stated on the government website This tax system allows companies to deduct part of their R&D expenses from their corporate tax. The CIR rate varies depending on the amount of expenditure incurred. It is 30 percent for expenses less than or equal to 100 million euros and 5 percent for expenses exceeding this amount. The CIR represents substantial financial aid for companies like Decathlon, which have made innovation a pillar of their business model. Innovation has been at the heart of Decathlon's strategy since its creation in 1976. The company distinguishes itself by creating its own brands and developing new products, which it presents each year at an event called 'Reveal Innovation'. The CIR supports this effort by reducing the financial risks associated with the research undertaken. Given Decathlon's continuous investments in R&D, it is highly likely the company is a significant beneficiary of this credit. By warning about the consequences of a decrease in the CIR, the company aims to preserve a favourable tax environment that allows it to continue investing in research into new technologies and materials. Furthermore, Decathlon also mentioned the "innovation ecosystem in France", highlighting the interdependence of economic actors. A decrease in the CIR could weaken the entire innovation value chain, affecting start-ups, SMEs, research laboratories and partnerships. For a group like Decathlon, a dynamic ecosystem is essential for recruiting talent, collaborating with innovative partners and accessing new technologies. This is especially true as the group now owns an investment company called Decathlon Pulse, whose objective is to develop ideas and concepts with 'strong potential'. In 2024, the Decathlon group recorded a 5 percent YoY growth in turnover, reaching 16.2 billion euros. Decathlon x Tawaraya. Credits: Decathlon According to an article published by Le Monde on January 9, 2025, the CIR is the state's primary tax expenditure for businesses, and its amount continues to increase: it was 7.6 billion euros in 2024, approximately 10 percent of corporate tax. According to the same media, the CIR is "a tax loophole that has become a veritable gold mine, abundant, generous and coveted". This article was translated to English using an AI tool.

Beaumanoir Group takes over Jennyfer
French group Beaumanoir announced on Thursday the acquisition of the Jennyfer brand and 26 of its shops in France. Previously owned by a group of investors led by former Undiz chief executive officer, Sébastien Bismuth, the fashion retailer Jennyfer was placed in receivership last April. Around 350 jobs are expected to be preserved. "We are proud of the positive decision regarding our takeover bid for Jennyfer," Roland Beaumanoir, chairman of Beaumanoir, said in a statement. "For ten years, in a changing textile market context, attempts to reposition the brand have unfortunately failed, resulting in losses. I am convinced that only takeovers by strong groups like Beaumanoir, offering a coherent ecosystem and adequate resources, succeed. We have proven this with La Halle, Caroll, and, more recently, with Boardriders Group." Beaumanoir brand rollout The group indicated it wanted to deploy its brands within the 26 shops taken over from the retailer. This will allow Beaumanoir to "continue and strengthen its territorial network on its current brands", including Morgan and Cache Cache. The group currently has more than 2,700 points of sale worldwide (directly operated shops and affiliate network). The gradual relaunch of Jennyfer is also on the agenda. The group said it wants to "attract a younger clientele, complementary to the current targets of its brands". This redeployment will first take place via the marketplace, then through the implementation of specific ranges in its shop network. "One of the pillars of Beaumanoir Group's success is its ability to finely segment the market and target a wide customer base through a suitable offer and brands," Jérôme Drianno, managing director of Beaumanoir, highlighted. "Jennyfer will enrich the group's portfolio, which currently operates around 20 brands, and will allow it to position itself in a new segment with a younger clientele." Founded in 1981, Beaumanoir Group achieved a turnover of 3 billion euros in 2024. Since June 2024, the group has operated the lifestyle and outdoor brands once under Boardriders Group for Western Europe, such as Quiksilver, Roxy, Billabong, DC Shoes, Element and RVCA. In addition to its distribution activity, the group owns a logistics subsidiary, C-Log, and the French lifestyle marketplace This article was translated to English using an AI tool.

Is François-Henri Pinault stepping back from Kering?
Paris - 63-year-old François-Henri Pinault, chief executive officer of French luxury group Kering (Kering), is reportedly planning to separate the roles of chairman and chief executive officer. This information was published on Thursday by the business magazine Challenges. According to the magazine, which did not cite its sources, Pinault will remain chairman, while executive search firm Jouve has been tasked with finding a new chief executive officer. Two internal candidates have been identified: Francesca Bellettini and Jean-Marc Duplaix, both deputy chief executive officers. Challenges added that an external appointment remains a possibility. Kering declined to comment when contacted. Pinault has been chief executive officer since 2005, taking over from his father, François Pinault. The group was originally called PPR (Pinault-Printemps-Redoute) before being renamed Kering in 2013. Kering's sales, still affected by the performance of its flagship brand Gucci, continued to decline in the first quarter of 2025, reaching 3.88 billion euros (down 14 percent). This followed a 62 percent drop in net profit and a 12 percent fall in revenue in 2024. Since January 1, Kering's share price has fallen by over 25 percent.(AFP) This article was translated to English using an AI tool.
