Pecks Anchovette and Redro fish paste are flying from South African shelves and it has been reported that there won’t be any restocked as Pioneer stopped producing its fish paste in December 2021.
According to Business Insider, Pioneer Foods, the local distributor of Pecks and the manufacturer of the South African equivalent Redro has decided to no longer sell its line of fish paste.
A Pioneer spokesperson confirmed that the company decided to stop producing fish paste products at the end of 2021 as part of an “ongoing portfolio review”, reports INC29.
The anchovy spread has been popular amongst many in the country for several decades, originally dating back to the 1960s when it first arrived in South Africa.
