Discontinued Marmite product dubbed 'food of the gods' is finally back

Marmite fans are rejoicing after discovering one of the brand's 'best' products has returned to supermarket shelves.
Marmite Peanut Butter disappeared from shops in September 2024 when it was axed and people were quick to flood social media with demands for its return.
And it seems their prayers have been answered as the crunchy version of the spread is now available to buy once more at Tesco, Sainsbury's and Ocado.
The product sees crunchy peanut butter blended with classic salty Marmite to create what is said to be 'the ultimate toast topper'.
Currently a jar of the stuff will set you back £3 at Tesco but shoppers aren't put off by the price as they're racing to snap it up.
'Adds to basket immediately,' wrote @amyfredriksson on Instagram, as @newfoodspotteruk posted a series of running emojis, suggesting they were dashing to the supermarket.
Similarly, @loobyloufhalora commented: 'Added straight to online order for tomorrow.' And @dannyalpino claimed it was the 'best news I've heard all year!'
'NEVER take this away again,' instructed @izzy.leonard, while @tv_mamaof2 said: 'Life complete.'
In reviews on Tesco's website, shoppers also hailed it 'the best tasting peanut butter ever', 'delicious', 'proper scran' and the 'food of the gods'.
Others shared some of their favourite ways to eat the spread, with one person claiming they made 'amazing rocky road' with it and another revealed they spread it on toast with strawberry jam too.
If peanut butter isn't for you, but you love Marmite, then you might want to head to Marks & Spencer's Food Hall as the retailer just unveiled a brand new range of products made with the stuff. More Trending
The selection includes Cheddar & Marmite Sausage Rolls (£3.80) – which just so happen to be the brand's first ever sausage rolls to contain cheese – plus a Marmite Cheese Pizza (£5.75), Marmite Mac & Cheese (£3.50) and Marmite Mac & Cheese Bites (£3.75).
And Tesco also recently launched a 'game-changing' Marmite chilled range, with a selection of different potato dishes.
There were Marmite Roast Potatoes, Marmite Potato Wedges, Creamy Marmite Mash and a Cheese and Marmite Potato Gratin.

New Edinburgh bakery opens on former site of popular business in capital

Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info A new bakery has launched on Leith Walk, replacing a popular business that shut its doors less than a month ago. Sloe Lane Bakery opened on Saturday, June 21, replacing Hobz Bakery, which closed weeks before on May 31. Some of the team from Hobz has stayed on to work at Sloe Lane which is now up and running in the same premises. Bosses at the new bakery took to social media to wish the previous eatery staff farewell and to announce the launch of the new cafe. They said: "[Hobz] will be greatly missed, and we wish them every success and happiness in their next chapter. "They created something truly special and we hope to carry that spirit forward. We're lucky to have some of their wonderful team staying on with us - so please do pop by and say hello! "We'll be serving exceptional coffee and freshly baked pastries, made with care and intention. At Sloe Lane, we believe in baking with love, taking our time, and celebrating the best of Scotland's seasonal and local ingredients and suppliers. "Our name reflects our wish to create a place where people can slow down - inspired by the gentle rhythm of Leith Walk and the sloe berry, a symbol of our connection to nature." Hobz Bakery closed on Saturday, May 31, with plans to reopen at a new location in the East Neuk of Fife next year. Owner, Matt, shared the news with his customers on Instagram at the time. He said: "Hobz has been too successful, too fast. When I started baking from my flat in 2021, Hobz was only a weekly side project. It quickly grew into the bakery it is today. "In all honesty, I never imagined Hobz would be where it is now. We've been listed in many publications as one of the best bakeries in the UK, among other bakeries that I look up to and admire, even though I have trouble accepting anything we make is any good. "About a year ago I realised that we needed to expand, and began to look for a larger unit in Edinburgh."

How a high heel entrepreneur is handling tariffs before the other shoe drops

Checkbook Chronicles Haley Pavone testified to Congress that tariffs are crushing small-business owners' American dream. June 21, 2025, 5:07 AM EDT By Kayla Steinberg Haley Pavone thought this was going to be the biggest and best year yet for her footwear company. Based in Southern California, she had big dreams for Pashion Footwear, the online business she started as a 20-year-old college junior that sells high heels that convert into flats. Instead, she found herself imploring lawmakers for help as tariffs threaten to cripple her company. 'We went from duty-free status to paying actually 190% on average overnight,' Pavone told NBC News. In the months since President Donald Trump took office, the trade war has swung wildly back and forth. Tariff rates have, at times, changed suddenly and dramatically as U.S. officials seek deals with other countries. It has ensnared business owners like Pavone in a battle they didn't choose, as they struggle to plan for a future they can't clearly see. 'It has been chaos to say the least,' she said. 'It feels like small businesses are either being intentionally attacked or being completely forgotten. And I don't know which one is worse.' Business breakdown Pashion Footwear was born out of Pavone's own struggles with high heels. She loved wearing them but hated the inevitable pain that came with being hours on her feet. So in 2016, she founded Pashion. 'It's the biggest love-hate relationship in women's closets,' she said. 'And we're trying to change that.' Pavone's company has grown to employ 12 and has patents in the United States, China and the European Union. for its sole-support technology. And last year, Pashion made $9 million in gross revenue, up 88% from 2023. Pavone attributes much of that success to social media. She and the company have more than 2 million followers combined across TikTok and Instagram, with posts showing an array of heels transforming into flats with a quick twist and press. Tariff troubles For Pavone's small business, it has never been easy: between Trump's first trade war with China and then the pandemic — plus the ensuing supply chain crisis and recession. Pavone said this year she had expected her business to grow 150%, planned to hire several employees and was looking into wholesale. But then Trump eliminated the 'de minimis' exemption, which allowed items from China valued at $800 or less to come into the U.S. duty-free. The change took effect May 2. 'We went from making about 19-20% per shoe after all of our operating expenses to actually losing about $40 per shoe,' Pavone said. The Walnut Knit Booties that used to make the company $43.70 per pair, she said, turned into a $41.16 loss. After the U.S. and China agreed to a 90-day tariff pause, Pashion was left with tariffs of 36% to 75% on each product. The company has paid more than $50,000 in tariffs to U.S. Customs and Border Protection since the May 2 change. The company's shoes are manufactured in China, and Pavone said they can't be made elsewhere — though it's not for lack of trying. 'I've tried talking to manufacturers in Vietnam, Brazil, India and even one very small factory I was able to find in the U.S.,' she said. 'All of them have unanimously said that China is the only supply chain currently that can do what we need at scale.' And Pashion was hit hard by another rule change. Earlier this year, it qualified for and signed a $5 million loan from the Small Business Administration. Pavone planned to use that money to buy Pashion out of predatory debt it took on to survive the pandemic, invest in hiring and buy more inventory. But the Trump administration changed the qualifications to receive the funding, now requiring all shareholders to be U.S. citizens — and Pavone said her company raised 1.7% of its funding from international investors. The loan was pulled. 'We feel completely ignored, and we also feel completely out of control,' she said. 'It basically feels like we're just waiting for the other shoe to drop every second of the day.' Taking action The changes and uncertainty have dashed Pavone's big dreams for the year. She said she slashed inventory orders from $1 million for the fall and $1.5 million for the holidays to around $300,000 each, wanting to keep her budget open to assume tariff liability. 'This went from being a growth year to a year where we're really just trying to make ends meet and stay afloat,' she said. To handle the increased costs, the company added a tariff tax averaging $15 to $25 per product when U.S. customers check out. Demand from U.S. consumers has since dropped around 30%, Pavone said. 'There's plenty of customers where even though they understand what we're doing, they're now priced out of what they can pay, so they can't buy,' she said. She shared her frustrations on TikTok, breaking down for her followers exactly how tariffs are affecting the business. And at a hearing in May, Pavone explained to lawmakers just how painful the changes have been. 'Every day that these trade policies continue, it means the death of more American dreams,' she told lawmakers. 'This is not a short-term pain. This is the destruction of livelihoods, both for entrepreneurs and those they employ.' Pavone hopes her testimony could help lawmakers push for relief. 'No matter what happens, I at least know that I've fought as hard as anyone possibly could,' she said. Kayla Steinberg Kayla Steinberg is a producer at NBC News covering business and the economy.

ASOS responds after customers notice accounts have been closed without warning

ASOS shoppers have been left baffled after receiving a message to say that their accounts have been permanently closed. It comes as the online retailer has clamped down on returns - and punished those who return items too frequently Dozens of shoppers have been left furious after being informed that their ASOS accounts are being closed for good. The online fashion retailer, which has generated billions of pounds annual for years, has punished customers who are prone to returning items often. It comes after ASOS announced their new "fair use" policy last year, which introduced return chargers for customers returning items too frequently. The retailer had previously offered UK shoppers free returns of unused items within 14 days, but wrote to some shoppers saying it had updated its "fair use" policy to clamp down on frequent returners. Those signed up to the group's Premier subscription service were told they would have to keep at least £15 of their original order to escape a fee, while non-subscription shoppers who regularly send back large amounts would have to keep at least £40 of their orders. ‌ But now things have gone a step further – as an email has been issued to some shoppers informing them that their accounts will be permanently closed within 30 days. ‌ An email sent out to affected customers said: "Some time ago, we contacted you to inform you of certain changes made to our Fair Use Policy. After reviewing your recent return activity again, you are still part of a small group of customers whose shopping behaviour continues to breach our Fair Use Policy. For this reason, we have decided to close your account." "Please note that this also applies to any other accounts you currently have or may try to open in the future," the email added. People have flooded to social media to share their frustration. One tweeted ASOS: "Blocking my account with no notice what so ever. Insane you can be a loyal customer for years (FYI It's normal to return clothes that don't fit) and they just close your account and this is the response you get from contacting customer service. Insane!". Another opened up about their experience and shared: "In the space of five hours ASOS have gone from banning my account, to then contracting me on Instagram wanting to repost a pic of me wearing their clothes. I'm a loyal customer, on average spend about £100 per month but no you don't want me shopping with you any more." One responded to the post and said: "Yep same, love that I've been penalised because basically I'm unsure of my size after having my daughter!" ‌ One other agreed, sharing a post, and wrote: "Had this account for years and always order from ASOS but clearly loyalty isn't recognised since I had my chat closed when I enquired about it… I do most of my shopping on ASOS and can't see how my returns are a lot. God forbid a gal doesn't know her size/style postpartum." One other said they have not return any items since last year. They shared: "Account closed for 'consistent breaches' of their Fair Use policy when I haven't returned anything since October! ASOS you are a joke. You've been losing customers since your new returns policy came in and now you're actually getting rid of customers willingly." ‌ Another said: "My account was wrongly closed under your Fair Use policy. I order 10 items a year and return 2–3. This is clearly a mistake – please review." A man shared his experience and added: "Blimey, @ASOS_Menswear must really be struggling if they're closing a 17 year old account that's has only 5 orders in 6 months, of which multiple items per order were kept. Seems like a great business model." Another individual who has been ordering from the menswear section of the site said: "I've returned 1 item in a year, yet my account has restrictions on returns." A spokesperson for ASOS told the Mirror: "We recently closed the accounts of a small group of customers whose shopping activity has consistently fallen outside our Fair Use policy. This helps us maintain our commitment to offering free returns to all customers across all core market. "Free returns is something that the vast majority of our customers enjoy without any conditions. We want to protect that and invest in their shopping experiences, including things like the new loyalty programme. For a small group of customers with high returns, they have to keep above a net order threshold to qualify for free returns."
