SuperValu warns over stock availability due to sterling pricing

Ireland’s largest retailer has warned that some popular brands may be unavailable in the coming weeks due to the “unjustified price increase” Unilever has imposed in response to the fall in sterling.

SuperValu advised shoppers that it “may experience supply issues” as a result of the row which has seen Tesco in Britain remove dozens of popular brands like Marmite, PG Tips tea and Pot Noodles from its website.

In a statement, SuperValu said it was determined to ensure any savings as a result of the fall in sterling was passed onto its customers.
