Heinz has confirmed one of its baked beans products, labelled by fans as the "best on the market", has been discontinued.
Heinz is known for a range of different products including various sauces, soups and baked beans.
The latest edition to the Heinz range is its tinned Spaghetti Carbonara, the release of which divided fans.
Some fans described the new Spaghetti Carbonara as an "abomination" while others exclaimed, "love a pasta in a tin".
Heinz discontinues baked beans labelled "best on the market"
But it has not been all good news for Heinz fans in 2024.
In August the company confirmed they had discontinued Heinz Ploughman’s Pickle.
Now fans have learnt Heinz Organic Baked Beanz have also been axed from its range of products.
One shopper posted on X (formerly Twitter) saying: "@HeinzUK why on earth can I not buy Heinz organic baked beans any more?
"They were the best organic baked beans on the market! I wish they could be brought back."
A Heinz spokesperson replied confirming the worst, simply writing: "This product has now been discontinued."
The baked beanz fan said it was "such a shame" the product had been axed and reiterated the point that they were "the best of the Organic baked beans on offer".

Kraft Heinz has now confirmed the decision to discontinue the baked beans product came as a result of "changing culinary trends".
A spokesperson said: "At Heinz we’re focused on innovating to meet changing culinary trends and tastes and sometimes that means making small changes to our portfolio.
"These are always considered with the consumer in mind."
Other products discontinued by big-name brands in 2024
Heinz isn't the only big-name brand to have discontinued products in 2024.
The likes of Walkers Crisps, Nestle and even supermarket giant Aldi have also axed products in the past 12 months.
Walkers revealed earlier this year it had stopped making Marmite-flavoured crisps.
This came after the likes of Salt and Vinegar Quavers, Worcester sauce flavour and Max Strong Hotsauce Blaze crisps were axed from its range at the back end of 2023.
