TESCO has discontinued an everyday fridge staple in all stores, leaving shoppers baffled.
The superstore was forced to apologise to customers after the cease of the product.
Tesco axed its British Whole Milk 3.408L (6 Pints) in 2023, but customers are still questioning its disappearance.
One person, who posted to X, formerly known as Twitter said: “Can I ask @Tesco why you don’t sell the six pints of milk anymore…… certainly not home delivery.
“Are you scamming us again?”
A Tesco spokesperson, responding to the post, commented: “Good afternoon, thanks for getting in touch.
“Tesco British Whole Milk 3.408L, 6 Pints has been discontinued.
“I’m sorry for any disappointment.”
A Tesco spokesperson told The Sun: “We phased out six-pint bottles of milk back in 2023 to reduce wastage, as there were higher levels of waste on that product size.”
At the time of the axing in 2023, shoppers said: “Tesco has discontinued six-pint bottles so it can milk more money from customers with smaller cartons.”
Meanwhile another customer said: “Any idea why six pints of milk never seem available for online orders.
“Also why were they removed from the Extra stores?

And a third chimed in: “Tesco is no longer selling six pints of milk.
“So it’s Aldi from now on.”
A Tesco spokesperson previously told The Sun: “We are phasing out six-pint bottles to reduce wastage.
“Our four-pint bottles provide the same great value per pint — especially as we have reduced milk prices twice in recent weeks.”

Tesco’s own-brand £1.95 apricot wheats have vanished from shelves to the dismay of shoppers.
One despairing fan took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to question the disappearance of the cereal.
They said: “For several weeks now you’ve had the other varieties but no apricot wheats.
“First you took away the Honey Monster Puffs, and now this.”
Tesco then confirmed that the cereal had been discontinued.
A spokesperson said it was no longer available in any of its stores and added: “so sorry for any inconvenience.”
A similar Kellogg’s cereal is also shown as unavailable at Tesco online, but it is listed at Sainsbury’s, Asda and Ocado with prices ranging from £1.95 to £2.45 for the 500g box.
M&S and Waitrose also stock an own-brand apricot wheat alternative for those missing their favourite breakfast.
