Tesco - fresh fruit?

36 replies

For weeks now there’s been a shortage of fresh fruit in my local shop, and from another shop that my online delivery comes from. Anyone know why?

There’s no problem with apples/pears/bananas/oranges in my local shop, but there’s a lack of grapes/plums/nectarines/peaches that are usually there. Plus there would usually be persimmon by now.
They are filling the spaces with mushrooms and kale!

These are out of season - wouldn’t expect them to be readily available this time of year…

And another shopping order without grapes available!

I've had problems with grapes (but not other fruit) and tomato purée (only the expensive ones available) in Tesco, too. No idea why or when it might be resolved. I'm in south London.

Also had issues with green grapes and Tom purée for weeks

There were no grapes other than the cheap ones again this week, and no purée.
But I did get persimmon from Aldi.

Still no tomato purée and no grapes whatsoever in my local Tesco.

Well this will be the reason for the lack of tomato purée:

I got to tomato purée from Booths, but still no grapes in Tesco, not even the cheap ones.

I saw that report on tomato puree and its very questionable origin on the BBC website @OdeToBarney

I've given up trying to buy grapes from Tesco.
Sainsbury have some very tasty ones!

spanieleyes · 08/12/2024 07:35

Finally!

We have grapes in Tesco😁

Luckily everything fruit an veg wise has been available. Also, I actually bought some puree 10 days ago.
