Default Heinz discontinued?

In both Tesco and Sainsburys Heinz have discontinued their Low Carb range.Or they have where I live anyway. Its getting harder and harder to find low carb pasta, spaghetti, tortillas and snacks. I'm close to giving up on the low carb thing, although I've been eating like this for 2 years now.

I never thought the heinz range was particulalry low-carb. Dreamfields pasta (www.lowcarbmegastore.com) is much lower and much tastier.

Hold on and don't give in just because Heinz have dipped out of the market! Good luck

I have noticed that our Tesco seems to have less low carb products. I don't know if this is a nationwide thing though.

Our tesco pulled the low carb range. It wasn't selling.
I didn't buy any of it anyway ... Just protein and veg, plus yogurt and cheese and some fruit... Seems to get me by!

If I'm saying something that you know/do already, please forgive me. You have two choices (well the third one is to give up, but we won't go there!): start buying online as Tony said and/or do more home-cooking/baking.
The second option is probably best as you won't then be relying on products that may vanish. Once you get into a routine (making stuff like muffins, quiches and LC soups to freeze, for example) you'll hardly notice the extra effort (most of the time)and the results are not only tastier and lower carb but MUCH cheaper. You can even make pasta, though the Dreamfields is by far your best bet - infinitely better in every way than Heinz.

thanks everyone. I was just a bit hacked off with the supermarkets really. I seem to be the only person in Devon eating low carb and I'm the only one buying these things. I go through phases of home baking, I really should make more effort

There are some great recipes in the recipe section which doesn't demand huge effort... Who needs convenience?

Go to heinz2u.co.uk and check out their low carb products. Apparently when you spend £10 you get free delivery! Good luck

I was devastated when I found out that Tescos no longer carried Heinz Low Carb products, as I lived off their ketchup!

But since switching back to the regular stuff, I've found that it hasnt hindered my weight loss one bit!

Keto ketchup is really good. They used to stock it at Holland & Barrett, not sure if they still do.
