Supermarket shelves around the country are being stripped bare of the popular breakfast spread, after production was halted due to earthquake damage discovered at Sanitarium's Christchurch plant - the only plant where Marmite is made.

Sanitarium is urging consumers not to "freak out" as it works to relocate its Marmite manufacturing facilities to a safer part of the Christchurch site.

However Prime Minister John Key told TV3 that he also likes the Australian-made rival Vegemite.

   "I looked at 10 shops in Christchurch today with no luck. There is no way I can afford to pay the black market prices for three or four months. I am so annoyed at people for buying box loads."
3. WD says
   "Have had vegemite from a child and I am now 67 years of age. Both my grandmothers were Australian so probably a family tradition to have vegemite."
