Heinz scraps popular condiment with shoppers baffled by 'strange' decision
Heinz has confused shoppers by axing a popular sauce - and giving it a totally different name. But eagle-eyed fans have spotted a MAJOR flaw over the change, which will be seen at Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, Lidl and Aldi stores.
Heinz has axed tartare sauce — and replaced it with a new 'Fish and Chips Sauce'. The brand describes the new sauce provides 'a refreshing twist to every dish'.
It was launched yesterday with TikTok star Destiny Harold, known as the Chip Shop Diva. One Heinz shopper wrote online in response to the move: 'Looks like tartare sauce for people who don't know what tartare sauce is.'

Another added it was "strange" and said: 'So, tartare sauce with a different label. Way to go for the creative department.' Shoppers can also find Tartara Sauce sachets still.
A product blurb says: "A mild and creamy sauce which will be especially great with fish based dishes. Great for all catering establishments. The best way to control cost is by offering smaller individual portion sizes. These portion sachets reduce waste and provide better portion control."
Heinz insisted: 'While traditional tartare sauce is made with gherkins and capers to create a tangier sauce, our new Fish and Chips sauce blends gherkins, onions, and fragrant herbs to create a herbier, creamier condiment. Think of it as Tartare 2.0!'
Shoppers can also try the rest of Heinz's world flavours inspired sauces range to continue the taste adventure, including Turkish Style Garlic Sauce, American Style Burger Sauce, Thai Style Sweet Chilli Sauce, Korean Style Sticky Barbecue Sauce, and American Style Smokey Baconnaise.
The list of sauces and condiments from the brand, which is renowned for its ketchup, extends to Mexican Style Firecracker Sauce, Thai Style Coconut Lime Sauce, North African style spicy Kebab sauce, and Blue cheese-flavoured French style sauce.
There is also Mediterranean Aioli Sauce.

European leaders react to US-EU trade deal
July 28 (Reuters) - The U.S. struck a framework trade agreement with the European Union on Sunday, imposing a 15% import tariff on most EU goods and averting a bigger trade war between the two allies that account for almost a third of global trade. Following are reactions from European leaders to the deal. "It is a sombre day when an alliance of free peoples, brought together to affirm their common values and to defend their common interests, resigns itself to submission." "This is not an agreement ... Donald Trump ate von der Leyen for breakfast, this is what happened and we suspected this would happen as the U.S. president is a heavyweight when it comes to negotiations while Madame President is featherweight." "This agreement has succeeded in averting a trade conflict that would have hit the export-orientated German economy hard. This applies in particular to the automotive industry, where the current tariffs of 27.5% will be almost halved to 15%." "I consider it positive that there is an agreement, but if I don't see the details I am not able to judge it in the best way." "The agreement brings much-needed predictability to the global economy and Finnish companies. Work must continue to dismantle trade barriers. Only free transatlantic trade benefits both sides the most." "This agreement does not make anyone richer, but it may be the least bad alternative. What appears to be positive for Sweden, based on an initial assessment, is that the agreement creates some predictability." "A deal provides a measure of much needed certainty for Irish, European and American businesses who together represent the most integrated trading relationship in the world. While Ireland regrets that the baseline tariff of 15% is included in the agreement, it is important that we now have more certainty on the foundations for the EU-US trade relationship, which is essential for jobs, growth and investment."

‘More to do' on US steel tariffs than Trump and PM can resolve, minister signals
The Prime Minister will attempt to hammer out a deal on steel import levies when he meets the US president at Turnberry, Mr Trump's Ayrshire golf course. Sir Keir and Scotland's First Minister John Swinney also plan to urge the US president to apply pressure on Israel to allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza, where the population is facing starvation. When the UK and US signed a trade deal in June, it reduced tariffs on car and aerospace imports to the US. But agreement on a similar arrangement for Britain's steel imports was not reached, leaving tariffs on steel at 25%. American concerns over steel products made elsewhere in the world, then finished in the UK, are said to be among the sticking points. Sir Keir is expected to spend most of the day with President Trump on Monday, when he will have a chance to press the president on a steel deal. But Business Secretary Mr Reynolds suggested it may take more than a meeting between the two leaders to resolve the matter, telling BBC Breakfast: 'We were very happy to announce the breakthrough that we had a few months ago in relation to sectors like automotive, aerospace, which are really important to the UK economy. 'But we always said it was job saved, but it wasn't job done. There's more to do. 'The negotiations have been going on on a daily basis since then. There's a few issues to push a little bit further today. 'We won't perhaps have anything to announce a resolution of those talks, but there's some sectors that we still need to resolve, particularly around steel and aluminium, and there's the wider conversation about what the US calls its reciprocal tariffs.' Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds has signalled there is 'more to do' on steel tariff talks with the US. (Jordan Pettitt/PA) It comes after Mr Trump announced he had agreed 'the biggest deal ever made' between the US and the European Union after meeting Ursula von der Leyen for high-stakes talks at Turnberry on Sunday. After a day playing golf, the US leader met the president of the EU Commission to discuss the broad terms of an agreement that will subject the bloc to 15% tariffs on most of its goods entering America. This is lower than a 30% levy previously threatened by the US president. Sir Keir is also likely to use his time with Mr Trump to raise the starvation faced by the population of Gaza. The Prime Minister has condemned Israel for restricting the flow of aid into the territory, alongside the leaders of France and Germany. The UK will take part in efforts led by Jordan to airdrop aid into Gaza, Sir Keir said over the weekend. Elsewhere, he is facing pressure from more than 220 MPs to immediately recognise the state of Palestine, something which French president Emmanuel Macron has promised to do. Humanitarian aid is airdropped to Palestinians over Gaza City, Gaza Strip (Jehad Alshrafi/AP) The US is the country 'with the leverage' to make a difference in the conflict in Gaza, the Business Secretary suggested. Mr Reynolds told BBC Breakfast that Gaza would 'of course' be on the agenda for the meeting of the two leaders, adding: 'The intolerable scenes that we're seeing, the world is seeing, are the backdrop to that. 'And of course, the US has itself secured on two occasions ceasefires in the conflict, so they have been actively engaged in it, working with Egypt, the Qataris, and other key partners in the region.' Mr Swinney also promised to raise Gaza with Mr Trump, as it was 'causing deep unease and concern and heartbreak within Scotland'.
