Heinz has discontinued one of its most popular condiments which has had shoppers fuming online.

The American company is one of the most beloved worldwide and boasts a wide selection of sauces, condiments and even foods.

From Ketchup to mayonnaise, the company caters for almost any palate, until now.

The company confirmed they have discontinued Heinz Ploughman’s Pickle.

One wrote on X/Twitter: "I am trying to buy Heinz Ploughman’s Pickle but can’t buy it anywhere. Has it been discontinued? I like it cause it’s gluten-free."

Heinz replied: "Thanks for your message. Sorry to say but this product has now been discontinued."

"Oh no! It was great & gluten-free so great for us coeliacs," the shopper said in response.

But it didn't end there. Twitter/X is awash with angry fans of the popular condiment.

One said: "Why is Ploughman’s Pickle unavailable in the East Sussex area?" And Heinz said: "Unfortunately we no longer produce Ploughman's Pickle."

Another fumed: "By far the best pickle for any occasions and use".

While a third person wrote: "Thing I really like about this is that it's gluten-free (or at least I don't react to it, unlike Branston)."

Someone else commented: "Far better than Branston."
