Branston Pickle has discontinued one of its popular ranges, much to the distress of shoppers.

The British food company is responsible for a range of pickled products and sauces.

Several big-name brands have discontinued products recently, including the likes of Aldi, Nestle and Coca-Cola.

Nestle revealed in February that it was axing Vegan KitKats from its range of products.


Discontinued UK chocolates and sweets


Aldi has discontinued several products already in 2025 including its Dairyfine Blonde chocolate bar and Very Berry Muesli.

While Coca-Cola discontinued two soft drinks - Coca-Cola Cherry Vanilla and Diet Coke with Splenda - late last year due to changing "consumer taste preferences".

Branston discontinues chutney range

Now, Branston has revealed it has discontinued its chutney range after fans reported not being able to find the products in UK supermarkets.

One shopper, posting on X (formerly Twitter), said: "Hey Branston, why can’t I find your Mediterranean Chutney in the shops?

"Tried Sainsbury, Morrisons & Asda in Lincoln. Down to the last jar!"

A Branston spokesperson replied, saying: "Thanks for reaching out. We're sorry to be the bearers of bad news but unfortunately we made the decision to discontinue our chutney range."

Branston's chutney range featured several flavours, including caramelised onion and Mediterranean Tomato.
