Ragu is no more. In Canada at least.

The popular pasta sauce has stopped selling their products in Canada. After Canadians began to notice a lack of Ragu on the shelves, several took to Twitter to ask the company where the sauces were. The company replied to users with a statement revealing that the sauces would not be coming back.

@ragusauce We have struggled to find your Chunky 7-Herb Tomato sauce for months and now it is all gone. I quit making sauce since this one came into our lives and now it is gone! We haven’t had spaghetti for 2 months since we ran out of the last jar.
Please, please, make more!
