I know from reading the message boards that there are lots of unhappy mums out there , due to the increase price, per tin of £3.30 that has been added to the Heinz nurture milk, which was formerly known as FARLEYS. I have twins, this is a MASSIVE increase for us & we should come together to do something about this, to show HEINZ that consumers DO still have power! The thing that annoys me the most is this price increase could have been notified, as the change of tins was notified. It's not ok to just change our babies formula over, this can cause stomach upset, constipation, vomiting. Heinz try to tell us they care for our babies, CLEARLY, they are all about PROFIT ...so let's hit 'em where it hurts!!!
We should boycott Heinz products for a week, all of their products, for one week. Believe me, they will notice the decrease in sales. Get all your friends to do it too, even if they have NOT been affected by this sly price increase. Please, let me know by answering this thread, if you think, collectively, as mumsnet mummies, that we could arrange this.
best regards, ANGRY MUM of twins x

whatever happened to "committed to fair prices" which they used to put on the farley's tins? gobshites. am v on your behalf and certainly wlling to boycott.

Me too - buggers

my DCs are too old for formula now, but i will happily boycott heinz. the price is ridicolous.

Changing your babies formula from one to another won't cause any illness.
That's just another line from formula companies to stop you changing.

Best way to combat the price hike is to choose a cheaper formula - nothing wrong at all with switching, as VS says.

I'm also absolutely fuming about this - I'm guessing the reason they didn't pre-warn of the price increase was to stop sensible people stocking up. If I'd known about the increase I would have bought enough tins to last my 6mo DS at least 3 months.

I wouldn't have minded had they put the price up by a pound as Farley's was always the cheapest anyway, but now it is joint most expensive with Aptamil, but from what I understand Aptamil has had a lot more research put into it than rebranded Farley's.

The problem I have is that C&G gives my DS eczema and SMA just comes straight back up, so we're stuck with the two most expensive formulas now.

And before anyone starts harping on about formula (sorry I'm in angry mode today) not everyone can breastfeed successfully, no matter how hard they try.

Feel free to let rip there.

I'm also going to boycott. It's a disgrace. I will also be venting to the HVs to try and influence them not to recommend Heinz to people (and give them the history if asked is it better).

I'm in total agreement...its a JOKE...JOKE...JOKE! I wont even be buying Heinz BEANS from now on!!
