Whats happened to Marmite. Can't find any in Philippos or Paps/Chloraka or Lidyl. Any suggestions where we can find some?

I bought Marmite recently at Fruit Market Garden Eden opposite where Costas Tyre shop was in the past.

Why is there no Marmite in Sainsburys?
Marmite is made by Unilever, and the manufacturer has released a statement explaining why customers can't get their hands on the controversial spread at the moment. The reason behind the shortage is due to the closure of breweries as a result of coronavirus restrictions.27 Apr 2021

Papas recently had some Marmite, I bought some.
I buy mine as /when I see it!

But has anyone seen Bovril? That seems even harder to get!

Why not make your own? Mix two parts tar with one part creosote while heating over a dustbin fire, then add a sack of rock salt and stir with an old boot on a stick until the neighbours complain. Serve with toast and regret.

Me too. Our current favourites in the UK are Marmite-branded Houmous and Marmite-branded peanut butter which is available as smooth or crunchy.
I even had a go at making my own Marmite peanut butter by buying some cheapo smooth peanut butter from Lidl, and mixing in 10% (by weight) of Marmite in a warm pan. Didn't come out too bad either.

Stocked up in February when a shortage of Marmite was announced, yet since then it has appeared en masse on two separate occasions in Papantoniou.

If there is a gap in the shelf where it is normally displayed that means they are expecting a delivery, but if the 'gap' is filled with other items then it will be longer and worth enquiring at Customer Services or even send an email to Head Office. When I complete the survey which comes with every receipt if something is missing I always report it.

Also happens with other overseas products but I do not want to cause a stampede!
