    Tesco removes famous brands in price row.



    Tesco stops listing dozens of household brands - including Marmite and PG Tips - on its website because of a dispute with its biggest supplier, Unilever, over a rise in wholesale prices.

    Included are Marmite, PG Tips tea, Pot Noodles and Surf washing powder.

    The row is said to have developed when Unilever - which says it faces higher costs because of the fall in sterling - attempted to increase wholesale prices.

    The products are still being sold in stores but Tesco said its shelves were running short of several products.

    It said it was "currently experiencing availability issues on a number of Unilever products".

    "We hope to have this issue resolved soon," the company added. However, it did not indicate when that might be.

    Sterling has dropped by 16% against the euro since the UK's Brexit vote.

    Unilever is the UK's biggest food and grocery manufacturer with many famous brand names.

    Those currently absent from Tesco's website also include Comfort fabric conditioner, Hellmann's mayonnaise and Ben & Jerry's ice cream.

    Unilever has declined to comment.
