Heinz Baked Beanz Reduced Sugar & Salt

I was doing my regular supermarket shop the other day when disaster struck - as an enthusiastic consumer of Heinz Beans I was shocked to find none of my favourite 200g tins on the shelves in my local Tesco. Undaunted I resolved to check out Sainsburys the following week and rely on my store cupboard in the meantime but I was worried. I have used the 200g can for over 50 years and I love Heinz Beans - could it be that my favourite 'comfort food' was disappearing from the shelves? Well it certainly seemed so when I went into Sainsburys a week later and found they had no stock either. Desperate I emailed Heinz over the weekend and went to Tesco in a ...  Read the complete review

Heinz Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce (reduced salt and sugar variety) were the original version of these haricot beans served in tomato sauce. There are many other brands out there now including supermarket own brands and Crosse and Blackwell, HP, etc but Heinz have the richest and tastiest sauce. Although I do eat over version s of baked beans I must admit that I prefer the Heinz ones. Other versions have thinner sauces and some have hard, less plump beans included in the tin. However, price is a big consideration here. The large size which is 415grms costs 52p in Tesco at present. Low fat and salt versions cost more. ...  Read the complete review

These are my regular baked beans. I have type 2 diabetes and 'normal' Heinz beanz have too much sugar, and I do tend to eat a lot of baked beans so could not easily give them up. I have tried other brands, but there really is nothing like Heinz, and no, I do not work for them. They come in a very similar can to the 'normal' variety, only with a slight lighter blue haze around the label and of course a band across the middle that states 'Reduced sugar & salt'. They have only 3.4gms of sugar per hundred grams, which in a 415 gm tin is still over 13 gms of sugar, I never eat more than half a tin. Salt is 0.5 gms per tin. The 'normal' beans have 4.8 ...  Read the complete review

I like Heinz baked beans. Well, I'm supposed to. I'm a student. I've tried the Sainsbury's and Tesco versions in the aid of saving money, but, much like the ketchup, they don't compare. I'm fairly health-conscious. I eat a balanced diet naturally (lots of fruit and veg and carbs, not much fat) without really thinking about it but if there's a product which looks the same as what I'm buying but is "healthier" I'll usually try it out too. I don't think much of "low fat" products because they often have extra sugar to make up for it, but I often buy the Sainsbury's "Be Good To Yourself" things if they look and taste the same as what ...  Read the complete review
