Quality Street lovers have been left devastated after opening tubs to find a new flavour missing.
Nestle has said there have been changes to production due to the coronavirus pandemic and some consumers may not have found all 12 varieties in the famed festive tins and tubs, Birmingham Mail reports.
Earlier this year, Nestle announced it would be introducing a new Chocolate Caramel Brownie flavoured chocolate to its tubs.
But coronavirus and the subsequent lockdown has delayed the production.
A spokesperson said: “In order to keep Quality Street production going during the Covid-19 lockdown period, we made some temporary changes to the way we operated, such as running fewer lines for a time.
"As a result, some consumers may find that they do not have all 12 varieties of Quality Street sweets in their mix.
There is no change to the overall weight of our tubs, tins and cartons and any missing varieties, such as the Chocolate Caramel Brownie, have been replaced by another of our well-loved Quality Street selection.
"We have been producing all 12 sweets again for some time now.
"We apologise for any disappointment caused but hope consumers understand why it was necessary to make these changes during such unprecedented conditions.”
