Coca-Cola discontinues Vanilla Zero in UK supermarkets
It seems Coca-Cola Vanilla Zero has begun disappearing from shop shelves and won't be returning for now, The Sun has said. The fizzy low-calorie drink is flavoured with the sweet and creamy spice of vanilla and was available to buy in 2-litre and 500ml bottles, as well as 330ml cans. Concerns were raised after someone asked @CocaCola_GB on X: 'Is it true that Coke Zero Vanilla is being discontinued from your range in the UK as supplies are very difficult to find? Signed Coke Zero Vanilla lover!' Over the last few months, many Coca-Cola Vanilla Zero fans have taken to Reddit to share their worries too, as the drink had become 'so hard to find'. This person posted in the r/cocacola subreddit: 'Why is Vanilla coke so hard to find in the uk? 'Even tried ordering it from cocacola's own website only for it to be out of stock. I'm aware some are in stock on amazon, but they aren't in the size I want.' However, one argued this may be because it's 'not produced' in the UK. Since arriving in the UK in 2002, this isn't the first time the product has been reportedly discontinued over the years, as it has made multiple reappearances. At the time of writing, a 24 x 330ml pack of Coca-Cola Vanilla Zero is not available to buy at Asda, and Sainsbury's isn't stocking the drink either. Luckily for those wanting to get their hands on the product, some supermarkets, including Tesco and Morrisons, are still selling 2-litre bottles for £2.15. This isn't uncommon to see when an item is axed, as shops try to sell remaining stock before it disappears, The Sun explains. Within the last year, Coca-Cola Vanilla Zero isn't the only flavour to have been axed. Last year, the company was forced to apologise after confirming two drinks had been dropped from its range.

Sainsbury's shoppers delighted as supermarket adds item to it's meal deal The soft drink giant revealed Coca-Cola Cherry Vanilla and Diet Coke with Splenda were both discontinued in a decision that came as a result of changing "consumer taste preferences". Other discontinued Coca-Cola drinks over the years include Caffeine Free Coca-Cola and Coke II (also known as New Coke). Newsquest has contacted Coca-Cola for comment.

UK's Sainsbury's sells travel money business to Fexco
LONDON, July 30 (Reuters) - British supermarket group Sainsbury's (SBRY.L), opens new tab has agreed to sell Sainsbury's Bank's travel money business to Fexco Group, it said on Wednesday, continuing its withdrawal from banking services. Sainsbury's strategy under CEO Simon Roberts is to focus on growing its core retail operation. The travel money business operates online and through 220 bureaux inside Sainsbury's stores. It has about 10% of the UK market. Sainsbury's said Fexco will provide foreign exchange services under the Sainsbury's brand with Sainsbury's receiving an ongoing share of revenue and rental income. No financial details were disclosed. The deal follows last year's sale of Sainsbury's Bank's personal loan, credit card and retail deposit portfolios to NatWest Group (NWG.L), opens new tab, the disposal of its cash machines business to NoteMachine and the sale of the Argos Financial Services cards portfolio to NewDay Group. The supermarket group said Sainsbury's Bank has also struck a deal for Allianz UK to offer replacement car and home insurance policies to existing Sainsbury's Bank customers. Earlier this month, Sainsbury's, Britain's second largest grocer after Tesco, reported better-than-expected first quarter sales. Its shares are up 11% so far this year.

Find out how the changes could affect you ALL CHANGE Supermarket bank sells off more major services in big update for 1,000s of customers – check how you're affected Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SUPERMARKET bank has sold off more of its major services as part of a shake-up that will affect thousands of customers. Sainsbury's Bank has sold off both its travel money and car and home insurance businesses as it plans to focus on its food offering. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Sainsbury's will still have travel kiosks inside stores but they'll be under a different brand Credit: Getty This is separate to the sale of the supermarket's core banking business, including loans, mortgages, and savings, to NatWest last year. The move has seen 1.8million customers begin to be moved over to the high street giant, with mortgage holders transferring first. Sainsbury's has now sold its car and home insurance arm to Allianz, one of the largest general insurers in the UK. Customers who currently have insurance through Sainsbury's will be contacted later this year when their renewal is up.

Meanwhile the travel money business will be sold to financial services and foreign exchange company Fexco Group. Customers will continue to be able to access services at over 220 travel money bureaux in Sainsbury's stores and online – an estate which currently represents almost 10 per cent of the UK market. Sainsbury's currently has over 220 travel money kiosks across the country. It comes after the supermarket revealed in January last year that it is set to close its banking business. Sainsbury's Bank will be wound down as the supermarket says it wants to focus on "food first". It said there would be a "phased withdrawal" of the banking business. The Sun understands the Sainsbury's Bank brand may start to disappear from the end of the year, but nothing is confirmed yet. Sainsbury's scraps in-store changing rooms leaving shoppers furious Sainsbury's already outsources its insurance products, and its Argos credit cards and loans to about 2.1million customers. We revealed earlier this month that NatWest is taking on Sainsbury's Bank customers and will complete the transfer by December this year. The High Court granted approval in April to pave way for the switch. Legal ownership of credit cards, loans, and savings accounts officially moved to NatWest on May 1. But the transfer of these accounts to NatWest's systems will begin from October and be completed by December. Credit card holders will start receiving details about changes to their accounts this month. Between August and September, customers with loans or savings accounts will get updates about their accounts. From September to October, NatWest will provide instructions on next steps, including how to sign up for its digital banking, while Sainsbury's Bank will send a farewell message. Bláthnaid Bergin, Sainsbury's chief financial officer, said: "Travel money is a service our customers value and we're pleased to be entering a new long-term partnership with Fexco Group that ensures they can continue to access foreign exchange both in-store and online with the same ease and confidence." She said there will be no immediate changes for customers as a result of the move. Bergin continued: "We started the phased withdrawal from our core Banking business in January last year and are successfully on track towards a distributed model where the financial services products that we continue to offer will be provided by dedicated financial services providers. "Today's news means we will focus all more of our time and resources going forward on growing our core retail business."
