SHOPPERS hitting the supermarket could find regular favourites have suddenly vanished as the big chains change up their offering. There are a number of items that have been discontinued across Aldi, Asda and Sainsbury's leaving customers feeling pretty disappointed. Supermarkets regularly review their offering based on customer demand. This can mean making tweaks to recipes, packaging, as well as axing items altogether.

This can be hugely disappointing for shoppers who were regular buyers of an item. Sometimes you will get some warning that an item is disappearing and can stockpile some for the future. Big brand items stocked by the supermarkets can also be halted by manufacturers meaning the supermarket has no control over whether it can carry on offering the product. In some cases items are limited edition and only available for a short time. However, if they are popular enough they may be brought back or made permanent.

Here are the items you won't be seeing on shelves this year.. Shopper have been left disappointed after Aldi discontinued one of its popular bakery items. The Village Bakery Chilli Cheese Topped Rolls had been described by customers as "lush" - but they will no longer be available on shelves. Aldi has since confirmed to The Sun that the bakery favourite is no longer available. A spokesperson for the supermarket said: "We continually review our range of products to make sure we’re meeting the needs of Aldi shoppers.".

And at the end of last year Aldi got rid of two varieties of biscuits meaning you won't find them in stores going forward. Both Coconut Rings and Chocolate Rich Tea biscuits were given the shove by the supermarket. Looking for the Coconut Rings, one sad customer wrote on X: "@Aldi Where have these gone? My fiancé loves them and was going to get 50 packets for his 50th birthday in 3 weeks. "Been to 3 stores and none on shelf - please help.".

Aldi's response confirmed the treat isn't coming back, writing: "I'm so sorry, but this product has been discontinued. "We hope your fiancé finds an alternative packet to fall in love with.". When shoppers were about the absence of the chocolate rich teas, Aldi said: "We can see this product has been discontinued. "We are sorry for any disappointment.". The supermarket has also pulled several other popular items in recent months including Village Bakery Seeded Medium Sliced Loaf, Salted Caramel Teabags, Four Seasons Lemon and Lime Slices and Moser Roth Vegan Blonde Chocolate Bar.

Asda has disappointed shoppers by pulling a number of items from the shelves. Fans of the supermarket's OMV instant hot chocolate took to social media to demand answers after noticing the vegan-friendly drink had mysteriously disappeared. Asda confirmed the product was gone for good on X, writing: “Hi there, I am sorry to tell you that the hot chocolate has been discontinued and is no longer on sale in our stores.”.

The supermarket has also stopped offering Heinz's tomato and lentil ragu sauce, £2, after the flavour was discontinued. A frustrated customer took to social media looking for the sauce and asking if it had been discontinued. Heinz replied: “I’m afraid it has”. It had also been sold in Sainsbury's. And last year Asda ditched its teatime favourite 300g packs of garlic and herb tortelloni which let customers rustle up a quick dinner in just minutes.

Shoppers at the supermarket can no longer get bakery favourite the Cronut after it was discontinued last year. These were a cross between a doughnut and a croissant dusted in sugar. One consumer tagged Lidl on X, and asked: "@LidlGB have you stopped doing cronuts? They were amazing!". The supermarket responded: "Hi there! Our cronuts were a special guest in the bakery and have now been discontinued, we're so sorry for any disappointment.".

The shopper replied: "Nooooo!! They were amazing!!". A Lidl spokesperson told The Sun: "The cronut is one of our special guest products in our bakery section. "This means that it is not part of our core range and is something that is only brought in for a few weeks at a time.". Morrisons had stocked Terry's White Chocolate Orange, £2, but you won't be finding it on shelves this year after it was discontinued.

There were also sharing bags in the same flavour which could be nabbed for just £1.50 for the same flavour. Shoppers turned to online platforms where the item has gone, but a spoekesperson for Terrys Chocolate confirmed the items are no longer available. White chocolate variants had also been stocked in Tesco and Sainsburys. Another item you will no longer find on Morrisons' shelves is the New York Bakery Co blueberry bagels.

The bakery item had been stocked in Morrisons as well as Asda. On social media, one person commented: "My local Asda and Morrisons stopped stocking them. They have some maple flavour instead. Please bring the Blueberry Bagels back and make them permanent.". However, a spokesperson for the New York Bakery Co confirmed to The Sun the item had only been a limited edition. You also won't find Lyle's Golden Syrup Weetabix after it was dropped.
