‘Tyrell-ble': Beloved chip brand Tyrrells pulled from major Australian supermarkets due to low demand
supermarket
shelves without warning.
UK
-born snack brand Tyrrells has been pulled from
Woolworths
,
Coles
and IGA stores, without an official announcement.
The change was spotted by a frustrated Reddit user who posted about it last Thursday.
'Gone from their shelves without warning or even clearance tags. Didn't even get a chance to stock up,' the user wrote.
'These were f****** good, made in Australia with Aussie potatoes, and at $3.80 for 165g. Price does what it says, without stupid price hikes and fake offers.'
Other users echoed the disappointment.
'WHAT! OUTRAGE! They were the only chips I bought,' one comment read.
'These are the king of chips and I am heartbroken,' another said.
'Damn, that's really disappointing. They were the best chips on the shelves,' a third added.
'Absolutely unacceptable. These are the only good chips,' someone else chimed in.
'That's tyrell-ble,' another joked.
Snackbrands Australia, the maker of Tyrrells, confirmed the brand has been discontinued due to low demand.
'We always aim to bring delicious snacks to our consumers in line with their needs, however we sadly had to retire the Tyrrells brand from market due to insufficient levels of consumer demand,' the company said in a statement.
'We realise that there will always be true lovers of the brand out there however we need to balance the requirements of our consumers as well as our retail partners when making these tough decisions.'
Both Coles and Woolworths confirmed to 7NEWS.com.au they are no longer stocking Tyrrells chips.
7NEWS.com.au has also reached out to IGA for confirmation.
Snackbrands said Tyrrells will still be available 'for the foreseeable future' in some Harris Farm stores, and suggested fans try their other products.
'The good news is that we continue to innovate and offer great alternatives under our Kettle and Natural Chip Company brands,' a spokesperson added.
Tyrrells chips can still be found on
Amazon
, with nine 165g bags of the classic Pot Crispy Salted flavour currently available for $15.86.
Some Reddit users reported spotting a few bags at 7-Eleven and The Reject Shop.
Tyrrells, originally founded on a farm in Herefordshire, England in 2002, is known for its hand-cooked, premium potato chips made from locally grown ingredients.
The brand entered the Australian market in 2014, initially importing products from the UK.
From 2016, following its acquisition of Yarra Valley Snack Foods, Tyrrells chips were made locally in
Victoria
using Australian potatoes.

Cheesed off: Swiss meltdown over Trump's ‘incomprehensible' tariff whack
London: Swiss companies are reeling from a shock move by US President Donald Trump to slap a 39 per cent tariff on their exports, stunning brand-name suppliers of luxury watches, jewellery, cheese and chocolate. Swiss chocolate makers have declared the move 'incomprehensible' and are warning it will hit them hard, as the changes flow through to higher prices for American customers. The biggest names in luxury watches, already suffering a slowdown in America after Trump's previous trade decisions, now confront extraordinary price hikes that could lead them to expand sales in other markets. Trump spared Australia from higher penalties in his sweeping trade decision on Thursday, leaving tariffs at 10 per cent for most Australian exports, but he singled out Switzerland with the biggest blow to any European country. At 39 per cent, the new rate is higher than the 31 per cent tariff the president proposed in April – and much worse than Swiss leaders expected. The decision puts the Swiss exporters at a grave disadvantage to competitors in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy and other countries that will incur the 15 per cent tariff applied to the European Union. While Americans may have to pay steeper prices for Bally fashion made in Switzerland, they would incur a more modest price hike for a Dior item made in France or Armani product made in Italy. 'It is incomprehensible why Switzerland is affected by these tariffs, as reciprocity is out of the question,' industry group Chocosuisse said, repeating concerns it aired in April.

Work from home a legal right in Australian-first reform
Employees will be legally allowed to demand to work from home two days a week if an Australian-first proposed law is passed. The Victorian government has promised to introduce legislation to make working from home a right in 2026, in contrast to other states that want public servants to spend more time in the office. The proposed law would apply to all public and private sector employees in Victoria who can reasonably do their job from home. Yet to be determined are the legislation's definition of remote work, who can do it and the types of businesses the law would apply to, but the government promised to consult before its introduction to parliament in 2026. It sets up a major contest with business groups in an election year, with Labor seeking a fourth consecutive term that polls indicate it's on track to win. The November 2026 election will be the first as premier for Jacinta Allan, who lags opposition leader Brad Battin as preferred state leader. Ms Allan said legislating the right to work from home was good for families and the economy. "Not everyone can work from home, but everyone can benefit," she said. "If you can do your job from home, we'll make it your right." The coalition's push to end to working-from-home for public servants was partly blamed for its unsuccessful result at the May federal election, despite abandoning the policy before polling day. NSW Premier Chris Minns has described remote-work provisions as a thing of the past but stopped short of seeking an end to working from home, instead ordering public servants to work principally in offices. More than one third of Australian employees usually work from home but that number swells to 60 per cent of managers and people in professional services, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The bureau says 43 per cent who work from home do overtime, compared to one quarter of those who do not.
