Our house is a little light because I try not to buy long life things when they aren't on special, and it hasn't been on special for a while.

When I [generic term for internet search?], I find this post on the orange site from a month ago, with someone saying they got a memo 11 June 2025:

Sanitarium wanted to inform you of a temporary supply constraint affecting one of our Marmite products. Due to a shortfall in key raw materials, they are currently unable to manufacture Marmite at full capacity. As a result, production is being focused solely on the 250g Marmite jar, and the 500g SKU will be unavailable for a short period.

Wikipedia says it's made from by-products of beer brewing, so maybe buying more beer will help the shortage?
