Popular chip brand pulled from major Australian supermarkets
A popular potato chip brand has been pulled from the shelves of Australia's two biggest supermarket chains after being discontinued. Fans have noticed that the entire Tyrrells range has quietly disappeared from Coles and Woolworths stores. 'We always aim to bring delicious snacks to our consumers in line with their needs; however, we sadly had to retire the Tyrrells brand from the market due to insufficient levels of consumer demand,' a spokesperson said. 'We realise that there will always be true lovers of the brand out there; however, we need to balance the requirements of our consumers as well as our retail partners when making these tough decisions.' Daily Mail Australia has contacted Snackbrands Australia and Woolworths for further comment. Fans took to social media to express their disappointment at not being able to stock up before the range disappeared. 'It's been confirmed from Tyrrells that Woolworths, Coles and IGA have stopped stocking these. Gone from their shelves without warning or even clearance tags. Didn't even get a chance to stock up,' a shopper fumed on social media. 'These were [expletive] good, made in Australia with Aussie potatoes, and at $3.80 for 165g. Price does what it says, without stupid price hikes and fake offers. 'Maybe Colesworths couldn't deal with a product that didn't play their game?' The post attracted a divided response. 'Damn, that's really disappointing. They were the best chips on the shelves,' a fan wrote. Another added: 'These are the king of chips and I am heartbroken.' Others weren't surprised to hear that the brand had vanished from store shelves. 'Worked at a servo and this brand was always getting thrown out because nobody wanted them, even when marked down for quick sale,' one Aussie wrote. The Tyrrells range is still sold in selected Harris Farm stores. Fans have also spotted the Tyrrells range in some IGAs, at 7-Eleven and The Reject Shop, as well as online on Amazon. Originally created in Herefordshire in England, manufacturing relocated to Victoria in 2016, following Tyrrells' acquisition of Yarra Valley Snack Foods a year prior. The move created 120 jobs in the Yarra Valley as the region became the first location for Tyrrells' production outside the UK.

Popular potato chip brand sold at Coles and Woolworths to end production
A popular potato chip brand has been pulled from the shelves of Australia's two biggest supermarket chains. Outraged snack lovers have noticed that the entire Tyrrells range has quietly disappeared from Coles and Woolworths stores.

'Yarra Valley was already doing premium potato chips and vegetable crisps like us, and Australia now being one of the foodiest nations on Earth, we think the premium share of the market here will grow' then-chief executive David Milner told the Australian Financial Review at the time.

Kellogg's reveals SIX new snacks including ‘irresistible treat' on shelves at Morrisons and Sainsbury's
KELLOGG'S has revealed six new snacks including an "irresistible treat" being sold at Morrisons and Sainsbury's. Shoppers are desperate to try the fresh flavours dropping this month, from Pop Tarts to Squares. The latest edition of Rice Krispies Squares are sure to be a fan favourite, Honeycomb and Chocolate. These goodies boast a scrumptious twists on the classic - a layer of golden honeycomb topped with milk chocolate. And, bargain hunters will be impressed by the £2.25 price tag for a packet of four. Meanwhile, Pop Tarts lovers are sure to enjoy the all-new Frosted Choco Orange Flavour. They make the perfect on-the-go snack, and a box of eight can be enjoyed for just £3.00. For any gym-goers looking to pack more protein into their day, the new Kellogg's High Protein Bars can offer an extra 8g. They contain roasted almonds, other crunchy nuts, rich chocolate and gooey caramel. There are two flavours to chose from, Almond and Dark Chocolate or Almond and Salted Caramel Flavour. Stocked on shelves for £2.50 per pack of four, these handy snack bars work out at just 0.62p each. Finally, Kellogg's Oaties cereal bars are sure to make a healthy yet delicious addition to any packed lunch. Kellogg's discontinues breakfast cereal They're made with 55 per cent wholegrain oats which makes them a great source of fibre. Shoppers can decide between the Chocolate and Oat or Honey and Oat - or both - at just £2.25 per four pack. All of the new goodies are available at Sainsbury's and Morrisons from mid July. They will be rolled out in Tesco and Asda from September. This comes as Kellogg's revealed two brand new cereals just months after its "tastiest" popular breakfast staple was axed. The latest additions to the cereal giant's lineup are now available at four major UK supermarkets and come with a very reasonable price tag. Kellogg's Oaties is a new oat-based crunchy cereal that's perfect for giving a morning energy boost for all ages. The cereals are available in either Original Crunch or Choco Crunch flavours, both of which are designed to keep their cereal pieces crunchy, even when soaked in milk. High in fibre, the cereal also has added vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, and iron to help your metabolism. The 500g packs of new cereal, designed for families, are priced at just £3.49. Kellogg's said food developers worked for months to perfect the "unique, multilayered texture" to ensure the crunchiness of each bite. Oats and cereal flours were carefully blended with "quality ingredients" to make the dough which was gently cooked and shaped into the pillow-like bites, the cereal giant added. Crucially, both these new flavours are non-HFSS (high in fat, salt, and sugar) and have up to 8.9g of fibre per every 100g of cereal. The recommended daily intake of fibre is 30g, according to government guidelines. This now also means that four of the five bestselling cereals from Kellogg's are non-HFSS: Special K, Coco Pops, Rice Krispies, and Corn Flakes. Caroline Deeley, R&D Cereal Technical Manager, Kellogg's, said: 'Our world-class R&D team has worked tirelessly to perfect the new Oaties recipe, bringing together delicious flavour, nutrition, and a unique texture that keeps its crunch – something we know cereal fans up and down the country will appreciate. "It's also packed with wholegrains from oats, providing morning energy for families to kick start the day, whatever their morning routine looks like. "It's been many months in the making, but we're confident our new Oaties range will be well worth the wait.' In other Kellogg's news, the company confirmed a childhood favourite cereal has sadly been discontinued again following a mass recall last year. The breakfast giant has confirmed to The Sun that its chocolate-flavoured Corn Flakes are not returning to shelves. Last May, Kellogg's urgently recalled the cereal from the shelves amid fears the product could lead to choking or dental damage. It was pulled from shelves last spring and has not been seen since, leaving many shoppers to ask where it had gone. Writing on X, one user said: "Did @KelloggsUKI discontinue chocolate cornflakes again?". Another wrote: "I know you recalled chocolate cornflakes, but are they ever going to be back again, they were only brought back for a few weeks then re called." A third posted: "Any idea when your chocolate cornflakes are coming back in store?" Earlier this week, rumours swirled online that the cereal was due to make a return to shelves. Shoppers were really excited when they spotted the rumour, with one customer writing: "glad to hear it". Another wrote: "When when when?!!" While a third posted: "YES they were 10/10." A Kellogg's spokesperson said: "We love that Kellogg's fans are so passionate about their favourite cereals and we're proud to be a part of millions of people's breakfasts each morning in the UK. "We can never say never, but while there are no current plans to bring back Chocolate Corn Flakes, we do have lots of other exciting new products out now, like Kellogg's Oaties and Bluey Multigrain cereal, with more coming next year for cereal lovers to try.' And it's not the first time Kellogg's has waved goodbye to a beloved snack. Last summer the food giant axed All Bran Golden Crunch, in a blow to shoppers. Two years ago shoppers were also horrified to learn the cereal giant had axed Frosties from its multi pack boxes as it contained too much sugar.

Bikaji Foods forms joint venture with Chaudhary Group for Nepal expansion
India's Bikaji Foods International (BFIL) has entered a snacks joint venture in Nepal with local conglomerate Chaudhary Group (CG). "The joint venture marks Bikaji's commitment to strengthening its brand presence in the Nepalese food market and a significant milestone in its international growth strategy," the company said in a stock exchange filing today (24 July). BFIL added the partnership will focus on the manufacturing, trading and marketing of its snacks and sweets products in Nepal, including bhujia, namkeen and papads. The joint venture will be equally owned by BFIL and CG Foods in a partnership that 'unites Bikaji's legacy in ethnic snacks' with Chaudhary Group's 'extensive market expertise to elevate Nepal's overall FMCG landscape". Both parties will build a manufacturing facility in Nepal to ensure consumers get to 'experience premium and authentic ethnic snacks and sweets with minimal turnaround time'. Nepal's FMCG sector is now worth over a billion dollars and is seeing double-digit growth of around 20% annually, BFIL said, citing the Investment Board Nepal. Deepak Agarwal, the managing director of BFIL, said: 'This joint venture marks a pivotal milestone in Bikaji's global growth journey and promotes our strong conviction in Nepal's potential as a key strategic market. 'With CG Group's strong market leadership and deep local insights, we are confident in our ability to deliver high quality, affordable products that resonate with the consumers in Nepal.' Agarwal added: 'Beyond commerce, this partnership seeks to create enduring value - empowering communities, fortifying supply chains and enhancing Nepal's food ecosystem.' Varun Chaudhary, a director of CG Foods, said: 'This collaboration reaffirms our commitment to bringing world-class food innovation to Nepal, while expanding and strengthening our local capabilities. 'Our joint venture with Bikaji is not just about product excellence - it's about creating long-term value for Nepal, from generating employment to strengthening supply chains, this partnership has the potential to accelerate Nepal's food sector and set new benchmarks in quality and accessibility." BFIL has also been active in deal-making closer to home. The company took a majority stake last year in Hazelnut Factory Food Products, a local café and artisanal sweets business. It also took a 55% share of Indian peer Ariba Foods, which produces mixed vegetables, vegetarian and non-vegetarian burgers, paratha and roti breads. And in 2023, BFIL purchased a 49% stake in Indian snacks maker and start-up Bhujialalji. "Bikaji Foods forms joint venture with Chaudhary Group for Nepal expansion" was originally created and published by Just Food, a GlobalData owned brand.
