Relief at Hand as Putney's Houmous Crisis Deepens | ||||
Emergency supplies made available at Paddock School Cafe
Relief is being provided for beleaguered Putney and Roehmapton residents due to more supplies of houmous being made available at the Paddock School Café this Wednesday (26 April). The dip crisis developed when Sainsbury’s removed all houmous related products from their shelves due to what they described as a production issue. Customers had reported that the houmous they had bought had tasted like plastic and was ‘fizzy.’
A spokesman for the supermarket chain said: 'We've temporarily removed a number of houmous lines from sale due to a production issue at our supplier.” Although Sainsbury’s have said they hope to restock shelves by the end of this week people have had to go 48 hours or more without being able to lay their hands on the chickpea based dip. There are unconfirmed reports of people resorting to taramasalata as a substitute in desperation.
