I doubt many Brritish Expats will be devastated to hear this news.

Now if it were the proper bona fide Ourmate/Marmite then we'd be rightfully up in arms and scouring the internet or on t'phone to t'motherland for supplies.

Trademe auction for 1.2kg jar of Marmite. Be interesting to see how hysterical things can get!

Don't worry, the DailyFail has already explained our plight: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...run-weeks.html

Food parcels to be arriving shortly I guess....

I liked the way the company asked us not to panic buy Marmite, it's the perfect sales strategy to get people to stock up.

Marmageddon!

The stuff here is different to the UK stuff so as to cater for NZ taste . The stuff here is rather..... ......slippery.

I'm a Vegemite person here. A Marmite person in the UK.

and no it doesn't protect against midges, mozzies and sand flies. That's a myth.

This is how bad it can get, soon there'll be folks doing shady deals down dark alleys or at the school gate.

http://www.trademe.co.nz/home-living...-459453844.htm

Jar has been opened, 50% product remains. There is some butter/jam contamination. Can't find the lid so product is kept fresh with tinfoil/rubber band combination.

Get in quick. Marmite will become extremely rare soon, don't wait otherwise prices will go into the thousands if not hundreds of thousands.
