    Heinz and Tesco have reached an agreement to end their dispute over price rises, meaning the FMCG giant’s products will be restocked on the supermarket’s shelves over the coming days.

    The supply of Heinz products to Tesco was paused last month, with a Tesco spokesperson stating at the time that the supermarket “will not pass on unjustifiable price increases to our customers”, as household budgets come under “increasing pressure” from inflation.

    Tesco has declined to reveal whether Heinz products will increase in price under the new agreement.

    Last week Mars Petcare also halted supply of brands including Whiskas, Pedigree and Dreamies to the supermarket. This dispute has yet to be resolved, the BBC reported.

    “We’re sorry that this means some products aren’t available right now, but we have plenty of alternatives to choose from and we hope to have this issue resolved soon,” Tesco said.

    Meanwhile, a Mars spokesperson reassured pet owners that the company’s products are still “widely available” across the UK.
