One of Britain's biggest supermarkets was forced to pull kosher baked beans from its shelves after refusing to bow to demands from suppliers to raise prices in the wake of the Brexit vote.

While Tesco shoppers were fretting over the disappearance of Marmite, Jewish customers noticed kosher beans had been withdrawn from stores.

Many took to social media this week to express their concern, and to appeal for the return of what they said were an essential part of their kosher diet.

But the issue has now been resolved, with Tesco moving to assure customers that a disagreement with suppliers over the cost of the product had ended.
