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 have rebranded their tartare sauce

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

Boost of £14,200,000,000 for new nuclear power plant 'will lead to lower bills'
A new nuclear power station on the east coast of England will be given a £14.2 billion boost to finally get it off the ground. Sizewell C in Suffolk has been mooted as the site of a new facility since at least 2009, when Ed Miliband identified it in his role as the Energy Secretary in the previous Labour government. A decade and a half later, after returning to the same role, Miliband has secured funding from Chancellor Rachel Reeves as part of her major spending review. He said the move would lead to 'lower bills and good jobs for energy security'. The new power station at Sizewell would help fill the gaps left as all the UK's existing nuclear plants, except Sizewell B, are gradually phased out by the mid-2030s. Miliband said: 'We will not accept the status quo of failing to invest in the future and energy insecurity for our country. Craig Munro breaks down Westminster chaos into easy to follow insight, walking you through what the latest policies mean to you. Sign up here. 'We need new nuclear to deliver a golden age of clean energy abundance, because that is the only way to protect family finances, take back control of our energy, and tackle the climate crisis.' Sizewell C is described as a 'sister project' to Hinkley Point C in Somerset, which is currently under construction and is set to become the first new nuclear power station in the UK since 1995. However, building work at Hinkley Point is far behind schedule and the budget for the project has ballooned massively since it began in 2017. It is now expected to become operational around 2030. Like Hinkley Point C, it is expected that Sizewell C will be jointly owned by the British government and French energy giant EDF. Campaign groups have said the construction of the new facility would have a 'devastating impact' on its stretch of the Suffolk coast, which is susceptible to erosion. It is set to be built on a platform seven metres above sea level to protect it from the sea as it rises due to climate change. The Labour government has also backed the development of small modular reactors to supply nuclear-sourced power to millions of homes and power-hungry sites like AI data centres. More Trending Once all these projects are in operation, they will 'deliver more new nuclear to grid than over the previous half century combined', according to the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. Reeves, who will announce the Sizewell C funding later today at the GMB Union Congress, said: 'Today we are once again investing in Britain's renewal, with the biggest nuclear building programme in a generation. 'This landmark decision is our Plan for Change in action. 'We are creating thousands of jobs, kickstarting economic growth and putting more money people's pockets.'

Chelsea warn AC Milan over Mike Maignan deal as transfer talks drag on
Chelsea will not revisit a deal for AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan if the move is not completed before Tuesday's transfer deadline. The Blues have been in negotiations with the Serie A giants for the French stopper as they haggle over a transfer fee. An opening offer of €15million (£12.6m) was rejected by Milan and it is believed that a deal could be struck for just €18m (£15m), meeting in the middle as the Italians value him at €25m (£21m). In the grand scheme of football transfer fees it seems like a tiny hurdle to overcome, but a deal is proving more difficult than you might think. Sky Sports report that negotiations have been continuing throughout Monday and an agreement has not been reached. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link we'll send you so we can get football news tailored to you. The report states that unless a transfer has been finalised by 7pm on Tuesday June 10 then Chelsea will walk away from a deal. Chelsea offered one of Djordje Petrovic or Kepa Arrizabalaga to Milan in a proposed swap deal for Maignan, but the Rossoneri have no interest in either goalkeeper, favouring a cash-only agreement. The 32-cap France international is out of contract at the San Siro in 2026 and could leave on a free transfer next summer. The transfer window closing on Tuesday evening is unusual and has been brought in to allow clubs participating in the Club World Cup to bring in players before it starts. There are now two transfer windows this summer, with the first running from June 1-10 before the Club World Cup starts on June 15. There is then a second window which runs from June 16 till September 1. The Sky Sports report states that the Maignan deal is different to the one that Chelsea are pursuing for Borussia Dortmund's Jamie Gittens in that Tuesday's deadline is not a final one. More Trending Discussions are ongoing over a move for the English winger and the Blues are happy to revisit them after the first transfer window closes if the transfer is not done in time. Dortmund turned down an initial bid worth €35m (£29.5m) for the 20-year-old and want a significantly bigger offer, closer to €50-60m (£42-50m). Much like with Maignan, it is just the transfer fee that is the issue, with Gittens keen on the switch to west London. Personal terms have been agreed between Chelsea and the winger, but club-to-club negotiations have some way to go.

Nottingham Forest ‘write to Uefa over Crystal Palace Europa League decision' as they stand to benefit from Eagles ban
Forest took necessary precautions to avoid a similar fiasco TRICKY TREES Nottingham Forest 'write to Uefa over Crystal Palace Europa League decision' as they stand to benefit from Eagles ban Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NOTTINGHAM FOREST have reportedly written to Uefa over concerns about Crystal Palace taking part in the Europa League. Palace's historic FA Cup final win over Manchester City booked their place in Europe for the first time. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Crystal Palace's European dreams could be ruined over an ownership issue Credit: AFP 2 The Eagles lifted the FA Cup at Wembley to secure a Europa League spot Credit: Getty But complications around John Textor's stake in both Palace and French club Lyon have resulted in the South Londoners' spot being in doubt. Uefa rules on multi-club ownership prevent any two clubs controlled by the same person or group from competing in the same competition. Both Palace and Lyon have qualified for next year's Europa League, but the Ligue 1 side would have precedence as they finished higher in their domestic league. And now The Times state Forest made contact with European football's governing body to highlight the potential breach. Should Palace be kicked out of the Europa League, it is understood Nottingham Forest would be promoted from the Conference League and take the Eagles' Europa League place. Forest themselves made the necessary changes to their ownership structure when it became apparent both they and owner Evangelos Marinakis' other team Olympiacos could both qualify for the Champions League.
