M&S shoppers heartbroken after popular range 'vanishes' from shelves

Marks and Spencer has sparked fury after shoppers saw Plant Kitchen items vanish from stores

M&S customers are devastated as an essential range goes missing from shelves in a major shake up. M&S, which is rivalled by the likes of Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Morrisons, Lidl and Aldi, has sparked concern with an update to its Plant Kitchen range.

Marks and Spencer has sparked fury after shoppers saw items vanish from stores. "@marksandspencer why have you got rid of most of your Plant Kitchen range? I’ve noticed most of it has disappeared in most stores with the exception of the odd ready meal or frozen thing"

Another shopper was confused as to why the entire range was missing from their local branch. The disgruntled customer took to Twitter to ask said: "@marksandspencer Finsbury Park has got completely rid of their vegan/Plant Kitchen section."

An M&S spokesperson said: "We are currently working through a big project to relaunch our Plant Kitchen vegan range. We have not changed the number of vegan products per se, but are in the process of changing their design, upgrading the product quality, launching some key new lines while removing a few others and changing their position in store."

Some products will no longer be in a designated vegan section and will be spread across the store instead. Another shopper said: "Just visited my local M&S – a massive store with a decent sized food section – and found the Plant Kitchen section has completely gone.

"The only evidence I could find of its prior existence were the No Chicken Kyivs, which had been moved to the regular ready meals section. But otherwise there was no tofu, desserts or pizzas. Had anyone else found their section missing? Things are still available on Ocado…"

"Saw a post on here today that said they'd asked in their local store and they were getting rid of the Plant Kitchen branding and putting the products out with their regular ranges marked as vegan/plant based," another typed.
