November will see the expiration date for celebrity chef Simon Gault's sugar-free tomato sauce.
The sauce, which took three years of development, was the world's first to be sweetened with 100 percent New Zealand vegetables. It contained no additional natural or artificial sweeteners.
Production of the sauce has stopped, and the final batch of sauce made for supermarket shelves expires on the sixth of November.
In the end, it came down to price. As vegetable prices rose, the product retailed at nearly $8 a bottle and sales targets were unable to be met - an unfortunate ending for the sauce that had Kiwi health at heart.
