Tesco runs down Unilever product stock amid price war

Supermarket giant Tesco has stopped selling dozens of household brands to its online shoppers because of a dispute with its largest supplier, Unilever.

Included in these brands are Marmite, PG Tips tea, Pot Noodles and Surf washing powder.

Unilever wants to increase prices in the UK to compensate for the sharp decrease in the value of the pound, but Tesco is resisting that move.

The products are still being sold in stores but Tesco said its shelves were running short of several brands.

Tesco said it was ‘currently experiencing availability issues on a number of Unilever products’. The firm added, ‘We hope to have this issue resolved soon.’
