Baked Beans excessive sauce

Brexit beans

Probably the fault of Boris, or Meghan….

If you buy multi packs my late DH used to work for Heinz and he told me that substandard batches of beans were used for those and you’d get some broken beans and more juice in multi packs.

No. We shared a can of Heinz baked beans tonight with our meal. Plenty of beans, adequate ratio of sauce to beans. Unless of course this was an old can! Mind you some foods are staying the same price but in smaller bags or packets!

We only eat Heinz baked beans and haven't noticed any change at all.

I eat Heinz beans, and have seen no change, but I do like to reduce the sauce and make it thicker.

Buy your Baked Beans from M&S. Their own brand. They are not just any baked bean, they are M&S baked beans and they are exceptional. Very little juice.

And cheaper than Heinz as well!

We buy Lidl own brand. My DH loves Heinz but happily eats the Lidl ones. No nasty after taste like some have.

Thank you, fortunately we have a Lidl and M&S food hall opposite each other. Let the trial commence!

I have to vote for M&S tinned food, it is amazing value. I even buy their tinned ham for emergencies

Oh, oh, might be a one off M&S spree, it is nearly ??.
Appreciated all.

Envy flag is flying high in mid Cornwall as I'd love to try some M+S beans, after your recommendation Zoejory. One day perhaps but a 45 minute journey to the nearest store makes it a very expensive tin of beans.

I swapped to Branston from Heinz a few months ago and the juice is far less and they are cheaper. Taste good as well. Richer sauce.

I'm going to try Spar. Will report back soon.

Recently switched to Branston baked beans ,love them !

Aldi beans for me. Failing that Branson, Heinz are my least favourite ☹️

We’ve noticed as well how much more sauce there
in the Heinz tins. We tend to buy the Barbecue or Curry varieties which are not so sloppy.

I have also been thinking there’s too much sauce in the Heinz (multipacks of) beans I buy. I will try Branston ……….

I buy Waitrose own brand. Nothing wrong with them.

Yes, let us know! I keep banging on to people about M&S baked beans. People have started to believe I have shares in them.

Also, pick up a tin of tuna chunks in spring water. Best tinned tuna I've ever eaten!

tanith, very interesting - about the multipacks. I've had some that are more like bean soup, so I'll buy the single cans again now. Still, they are one of my favourite snacks.

I prefer mixed beans to baked beans. They're more expensive, but I like the bigger beans which are included. I think there's less sauce and they're less mushy. I pour off most of the sauce. Maybe I should do an experiment and weigh what's left.

I like the taste of Branson beans but sadly they don’t like me! I have had to switch back to Heinz.

I love the Lidl own brand beans. Have forsaken all other brands, now.

Bigger and bigger cardboard tube, and looser and looser rolled WC paper too- shrinking chocolate bars, and so many more. Do they really think we are sooo stupid that we don't notice!
