Tesco removes Marmite and other Unilever brands in price row
Marmite, PG Tips tea and Pot Noodles are among dozens of brands currently unavailable on Tesco's online site due to a dispute with Unilever.
Unilever has confirmed it is raising prices in the UK to compensate for the sharp drop in the pound's value.
Tesco is resisting the move and has removed Unilever products from its website.
Unilever's finance chief said such price increases are a "normal" reaction to shifts in currency values.
The products currently absent from Tesco's website also include Comfort fabric conditioner, Hellmann's mayonnaise and Ben & Jerry's ice cream.
Unilever is the UK's biggest food and grocery manufacturer, but many of its products are made outside the UK, so it argues it should be getting more pounds for its products.
Graeme Pitkethly, Unilever's chief financial officer, said the price rises had "landed" with other customers, implying other retailers had accepted the higher prices.
Major supermarket chains including Sainburys, Morrisons and Waitrose declined to comment on specific supplier relationships.
A spokesperson for Lidl said: "Whilst we do not discuss buying prices, we can always assure our customers that we will offer them the best quality products at the lowest retail prices."..............
