This follows the launch of upside down beans

The limited-edition range aimed to address the frustration of beans sticking to the bottom of the tin with a design that sees them stored upside down.
Professor Charles Spence discussed the innovation. He said: "Caused by the cylindrical shape and narrow opening of Heinz Beanz tins, the beans become trapped in unreachable angles, only made more difficult due to the thick sauce that is distinctively Heinz.
"However, when stored upside down, the beans don't settle at the bottom of the tin, making it easier to enjoy every last bean."
