The company confirmed they have discontinued Heinz Ploughman’s Pickle.
One wrote on X/Twitter: "I am trying to buy Heinz Ploughman’s Pickle but can’t buy it anywhere. Has it been discontinued? I like it cause it’s gluten-free."
Heinz replied: "Thanks for your message. Sorry to say but this product has now been discontinued."
"Oh no! It was great & gluten-free so great for us coeliacs," the shopper said in response.
But it didn't end there. Twitter/X is awash with angry fans of the popular condiment.
One said: "Why is Ploughman’s Pickle unavailable in the East Sussex area?" And Heinz said: "Unfortunately we no longer produce Ploughman's Pickle."
Another fumed: "By far the best pickle for any occasions and use".
While a third person wrote: "Thing I really like about this is that it's gluten-free (or at least I don't react to it, unlike Branston)."
Someone else commented: "Far better than Branston."

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
