I think it is actually Bisto - just rebranded for the Aussie market (who preumably dont drink gravy anyway otherwise why would woolies stop stocking it...)

Have lodged my complaint too. Hopefully they will adhere to our wishes. I have suggested they restock under Bisto not Soooo Gravy as then I think we UK people would flock to buy it. Not many of us know its Bisto in disguise.

I also had an email:

Thank you for contacting the Woolworths website where you enquired of
the availability of SOO Gravy Granules.

SOOO SAUCY GRAVY CHICKEN 170G is ranged only to selected Supermarkets
in WA, unfortunately our Clarkson Store is not one of the selected
supermarkets to range this product. I would be only to happy to advise
on the ranging to alternative stores should you wish to advise of stores
in close vicinity to you..

Your feedback and custom is both greatly appreciated.

Who mentioned Chicken!!

It is soooo good to know I am not alone in my search. I have also just sent an email. I have trawled all my local woolies in my search but only found the chicken, which I am guessing they are only running out stocks of. I have tried all the others and they just don't hit the mark.

I shall post my response if I get on.

I may have to turn to drink

Well, following a previous thread I went to the Woolies in Capalaba, Cleveland, etc. and none of them had it. I spent half an hour with the customer services team and they promised to look into it for me and get in touch. Today I had a phone call! It seems Woolies are taking it off the shelves for good! No more Bisto!

Anyway, the nice lady from Woolies suggested that I send an email to head office stating my case and asking them to bring it back in stock, even if its only in one location near Brisbane. I'll be doing that - lets see what happens. I imagine we'd get a better response the more emails they get, so come on everyone - send an email too! Go to their website at http://www.woolworths.com.au/contactus/index.asp and drop them a line.

Here goes nothing....,.
