Greggs major store change as self-serve fridges removed
The popular bakery chain has revealed it has removed items, including sandwiches and bottled drinks, from its self-serve fridge section at least five locations as part of a recent trial. Customer favourites have now been moved behind the counter in shops that are 'exposed' to higher levels of anti-social behaviour. One affected location is Whitechapel, East London, where customers must now ask Greggs staff at the till for sandwiches and bottled drinks. It's also been reported other stores have been fitted with 'bank-style screens' at the counter or introduced full-time security guards, according to The Sun. A Greggs spokesperson said: 'This is one of a number of initiatives we are trialling across a handful of shops which are exposed to higher levels of anti-social behaviour. 'Customers can expect to see our full range of great value and tasty Greggs favourites available from behind the counter. The safety of our colleagues and customers remains our number one priority.' Meanwhile, earlier this month, Greggs unveiled its summer 2025 menu, with prices starting from just £1.55. The new additions include a Caramelised Biscuit Latte and a focaccia-style Chicken, Sweetcorn & Red Onion Pizza (available as a single slice, or in boxes of four or six to share with friends). Other Greggs summer menu items (including prices) are as follows: Recommended reading: Greggs to launch viral Mac & Cheese across UK this summer after successful trial Greggs' summer 2025 menu features new pizza slice and sandwich range from £1.55 Dad orders 'UK's biggest bacon sarnie' from Greggs - with 100 rashers in one bun In March this year, Greggs revealed a jump in sales and profits in 2024 as it launched new shops, extended its opening hours and raised prices. The baked goods company, which has more than 2,600 shops across the UK, generated sales topping £2 billion – up 11.3% from 2023. This was partly driven by the opening of about 225 new shops during the year, a record amount for the group.

Kraft Heinz lowers annual forecasts on muted demand, tariff volatility
(Reuters) -Kraft Heinz on Tuesday slashed its full-year organic sales and profit forecasts, as demand for its snacks and ready-to-eat meal kits takes a hit from higher prices and an uncertain economic backdrop wrought by recent U.S. tariffs. Major packaged food firms such as Kraft Heinz, Conagra and General Mills have seen lackluster sales in the United States over the past year as volumes remained muted despite selective price reductions and higher promotions. President Donald Trump's steep tariffs on trading partners have also fueled fears of high inflation and stagnation in economic growth, prompting Americans to tighten spending as many everyday essentials could become more expensive. "We are also closely monitoring implications from market tensions such as tariffs, inflation, and the consequences to consumer behavior," Kraft Heinz CEO Carlos Abrams-Rivera said, adding that the environment remained "volatile". Slowing demand for packaged meals such as Mac & Cheese, Lunchables and condiments such as mayonnaise has hurt Kraft Heinz, with budget-strained customers hunting for more affordable alternatives. The company now expects fiscal year 2025 organic net sales to decline between 1.5% and 3.5%, from its prior forecast of flat to down 2.5%. The Heinz ketchup maker projected adjusted earnings per share of $2.51 to $2.67, from a prior range of $2.63 to $2.74. For the first quarter ended March 29, it posted net sales of $6 billion, below analysts' average estimate of $6.02 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. PepsiCo last week cut its annual profit forecast, warning of higher production costs and subdued consumer spending due to uncertainty fueled by Trump's expansive tariffs.
