Godiva’s Dubai-style chocolate bars have been mistakenly reduced to clear in Tesco following a system error at the supermarket, The Grocer understands. Retail marketing expert Dave Lewis yesterday posted a photo of a fixture displaying Godiva’s Pistachio & Kadayif 122g tablets plastered with “reduced to clear” notices in Tesco’s Fulbourn Cherry Hinton store to LinkedIn. The chocolate bars were listed by Tesco earlier this month for a limited run, priced at £10 or £7.95 for Clubcard holders.

McVitie’s has continued its prolific innovation push, unveiling a spin-off for its Club biscuit brand. Club Layers Orange (rsp: 89p/39g), which will sit in the confectionery aisle, combines layers of wafer with an orange-flavoured cream filling, coated in thick milk chocolate. It will launch on 30 June and be exclusive to Spar for three weeks. The NPD was intended to help “recruit new and younger consumers” to the brand, said Club brand manager Olivia Haley.

Great exclusive from @gilberthels in @TheGrocer today 👏🏻
Well this is a win for the #MCAS community and a fine example of a brand doing its best to put the customer first. #fragrancefree is not a ‘choice’ for those with severe #allergies but a need. @TheGrocer @FaithInNature @MastCellAction https://t.co/kKwblilhte
