Fray Bentos have finally admitted that the amount of meat in their pies has dropped after droves of furious customers complained online.
The iconic tinned pies, which come in a number of flavours, have all been criticised for being 'no filling all pastry' by hungry customers - because they are less chunky than normal
Disappointed consumers even claimed 'deep fill' pies were lacking substance - despite the company vowing the recipe hasn't changed
But manufacturers Baxters have now conceded there is less filling in the budget meals - despite previously claming they still had 'the same great taste'
A spokeswoman said: "Inflationary pressures for commodities made it essential to review the product formulations in 2017. "Customer feedback has been that maintaining a competitive price point has been important to them. As a result, some meat percentages were reduced in line with competitor products during 2017.
"We are continually monitoring feedback as a result of any product changes."
Horrified meat-eaters took to consumer website A Spokesman Said to criticise the meatless treats, claiming they were lacking in meat and had 'very nasty fat'.
