Is Marmite legit?

Legit

Love it or hate it, Marmite is the genuine yeast extract spread from Burton-on-Trent, but loyal fans are quick to spot a jar that seems runnier or milder than usual. Taste is personal, so the batch code and best-before date are what turn 'this is not right' into a complaint someone can trace.

What we checked

  • Spread made since 1902
  • Owned by Unilever since 2000

Watch out for

  • A reaction on a gluten-free diet, as the brand says its brewer's yeast can carry low levels of gluten.
  • A jar with a broken seal, a damaged lid or something in the spread that should not be there.
  • A jar that looks far emptier than the weight printed on its label.

Jar of Marmite tasting different from usual?

We help you write it, it gets its own public page, and you can have it sent to Marmite as a formal letter.

How do I contact Marmite customer service?

Marmite customer service in the UK is run by the Consumer Services team of Unilever UK, on 0800 028 0173, a freephone line, and through the web form on the Marmite website. Have the jar in front of you: consumer services usually asks for the product and jar size, the best-before date and the batch code printed on the jar, and where and when you bought it. Keep the jar and what is left in it until the matter is settled.

Jar not right? Start your complaint here as well, and we push it out to Unilever by email, social media and printed letters.

What should I do if there is something wrong with my jar of Marmite?

If a jar of Marmite tastes, smells or looks different from usual, has a broken seal or a damaged lid, or contains a foreign object, stop using it and keep the jar with what is left in it. Photograph the jar, the best-before date and batch code, and anything you found, and put the object in a sealed bag. Note where and when you bought it and keep the receipt or the online order confirmation.

Report it to Unilever UK Consumer Services on 0800 028 0173 or through the web form on the Marmite website, quoting the codes and the shop, and ask for a reference number.

Something in the jar that should not be there? Open a case with us: our trained AI keeps coaching you on what to send Unilever and when to push again.

Can I get a refund for a faulty jar of Marmite?

For a faulty jar of Marmite bought in the UK, the shop or supermarket that sold it is usually the quickest route to a refund or a replacement: take the receipt and the jar back, or report it through your online grocery order. Under UK consumer rights, the shop that sold a faulty item is responsible for putting it right. You can also report the jar to Unilever UK Consumer Services on 0800 028 0173 with the best-before date, the batch code and where you bought it, and ask what it can offer.

Refused a refund for a jar that was faulty when opened? We help you write the complaint in minutes through our complaint process, with the photos, the codes and the receipt together.
