Heinz axes popular beans product and fans demand it makes 'comeback'

Heinz has axed an iconic Beans product - leaving fans gutted. The teatime beans maker has spoken out after deciding to axe a convenient go-to item which many UK households enjoyed with their lunches and their dinners.

Heinz has discontinued a handy tea time staple with the Five Beans variety canned, meaning customers can no longer get its haricot, pinto, cannellini, borlotti and red kidney beans in Heinz's famous rich, tomatoey sauce when they want a convenient go-to.

A customer wrote on Twitter/X: "The Heinz 5 bean snap pots appears to have been discontinued. Will they be making a comeback or are they gone for good?" Heinz's official account duly responded, confirming the product "is no longer produced in the snap pot".

Online, ever since the product was launched, fans have raved about the quality of the item. The product description on Asda reads: "Mess-free, portionable and microwavable pots. 1 of your 5 a day. Absolutely no artificial colours. Naturally high in protein and fibre. Gluten free and low in fat."

It added: "Good news for those who can't get enough of Beanz... you can dive into the same rich, tomatoey sauce brimming with not one, but five mighty bean varieties. And in case you were wondering, they're still full of goodness.

"Our Five Beanz don't just taste great, but are nutritious too; high in fibre, high in protein and low in fat, as well as contributing to 1 of your 5 a day. Packed full of quality ingredients... it has to be Heinz. Heinz Beanz Snap Pots. Just the right amount for baked beans on toast, but without the mess and hassle - so fast you'll be waiting for your toaster to catch up!"

"These pots are ideal for one person- no waste! Tasty and the reduced sugar ones are really great and healthy too" a fan said. "They are ideal for a single adult portion or a joint portion for my children" a second agreed. "These are the most original ones and make a great choice for the jacket potato and easy to heat up and eat" another reckoned.
