What has happened to all the tinned sweetcorn

[StealthPolarBear]

There was absolutely none of any brand earlier this week in tesco. I thought nothing of it but have just been to sainsburys in a different town and none there either. Both seemed to have plenty of fresh sweetcorn.
So is it Brexit, covid, zombies or what?

I couldnt get any for weeks. A friend kindly got some from Costco after a fascinating evening of me moaning about it. I'm probably ok for sweetcorn for the next year or so.

I noticed this too! Had to huy frozen instead.

It's coming into season so may be short from last year's harvest if demand was up in the spring. I bought a pack in Costco in April, so we're sorted for the next year.

(Lasted from Feb to May on my bogroll supplies too, only bought it once since March long after it came back into the supermarkets)

I did try but only 2 turned up!

I'm desperately hunting for Soy Sauce (full fat version not "light" ), Worcestershire Sauce and Kellogs Bran Flakes.

All are like unicorn poo in East Yorkshire!!

I haven't been able to get it in my online shop since early June. I always order 3 tins a week. I have had to go to the shop to physically buy it - which is weird as although the stocks/range is small, we have always been able to pick a few tins up. So I don't understand what the feck asda online are playing at?!

DP is currently out at the shop now for my tins of sweetcorn, and the other items asda failed on 👍😬.

@DameMargaretofChalfont that's another that asda fail us on too! Luckily a bottle lasts us a while, but if I need some - pointless even trying in my onlin3 food shop!

Soy sauce that is!

I noticed this, this week. No green giant anywhere. How odd.

Tinned is on offer 4 for two pound in our local Tesco (Cambridgeshire).
Can't take advantage though, it goes straight through me (TMI)

I got some in home bargains last week, plenty there!

Plenty of sweetcorn plants in the fields and near us waiting to be harvested.

I think you will find the majority of those will be going for bio-digestion to make electricity.

I bought it all. Sorry. DD has at least a tin a day. She’s obsessed.

There was a big product recall of sweetcorn about 2 months ago due to something or other. Contamination? Can't remember. But I expect that explains some of it.

I only like the tinned "original" stuff. I don't like frozen and the no salt/no sugar version tastes like frozen as well. Mind you the last time I had to have the no salt/sugar one I added a wee bit of salt and sugar to the saucepan and it tasted right.

I know! My son eats it every day. I would have thought shortages would have been sorted especially as it is now corn season! Sometimes it is only the supermarket own brand, sometimes not even that. I have gone to two pr three major supermarkets and found none, off and on since lock down. Got a few tins at one point from corner shop marked down as nearing sell by date. It is a mystery.

Mum? I didn't know you were on here

The devil has taken all his sweetcorn back, hopefully he will return for all the celery and parsnips soon

Plenty and always has been in Aldi and lidl (buy home brand for hens)

Have you tried frozen? Just as good and a lot cheaper

I think Green Giant had to recall a batch due to contamination.

My kids only like the red label Green Giant tin.

Green giant is vastly superior to any other sweet corn which tastes flavourless and sort of flabby. Green giant is so crisp and so sweet.

Tesco has been out of stock with it for bloody months and keeps sending their crappy own brand shit instead. Imagine my delight at going in in person to find actual green giant on the shelves. Came home with 12 cans and husband thought I was prepping for an apocalypse.

@ DameMargaretofChalfont yes came on here to say this. Worcester sauce nowhere to be seen.

Do not get Sainsbury's new own brand Hubbards sweet corn. It's incredibly tough and just really unpleasant . It's nothing like their previous own brand or Green Giant.

I’m in Lincolnshire, no tinned sweet corn in local coops and spar, none in big Sainsbury’s or Waitrose.

@chocolatepudandchocolatesauce

What about all the chocolate Penguins? I've looked in four shops and can't find any!!! Not an issue, I was just intregued after the first two shops so now look wherever I go

Penguins were on offer a couple of weeks ago in our Morrisons, stacks and stacks of them on one of the end of aisles and around the corner, an entire display of Penguins and nothing else. Shame they taste of crap now, at least this lot do, seem to have changed them recently.

I think some was recalled
