Licence not renewed: that's why HP Sauce is off South African shelves

Fans of the brown sauce — many of them are now lamenting the disappearance from supermarket shelves of the familiar Houses of Parliament bottles — will be sad to learn that they aren’t likely to return.

Pioneer Foods — now owned by PepsiCo — had been procuring, distributing and selling Lea & Perrins and HP Sauce under licence from Kraft Heinz, in SA, Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland and Namibia for many years, but those licences expired last May and were not reviewed, said Mandy Murphy, foods executive at PepsiCo SA.As a substitute for the Heinz Ketchup, she suggested Wellingtons Smooth Ketchup.

“I’ve been to every shop in Durban North looking for HP Sauce — can’t find it anywhere,” said Chookie Ingram on Durban North Neighbours’ Facebook page a few weeks ago. Similar fruitless searches have been expressed by many others on such groups. The Spar group told TimesLIVE on Thursday that there is HP Sauce stock in Spar Waterfall, but undoubtedly not for much longer.

Woolworths offered a small glimmer of hope for HP fans that another food company may sign a deal to sell it in SA. “We continue to monitor for an update on where the licence will be awarded and we will restock products as soon as possible”.
