CONFECTIONARY giant Nestle has axed a popular baking product, confirming the news on social media. Its Carnation Vegan Condensed Milk Alternative has now permanently disappeared from supermarket shelves. The substitute for its original dairy version was made with oats and rice and was used for baking sweet treats that were plant-based.

It was launched by the chocolate-to-coffee maker back in 2020, and was sold in supermarkets such as Asda and retailed for around £2.50. Eagle-eyed shoppers took to social media to find out what had happened to the popular product. Writing on X, formerly Twitter, one user said: What’s going on???!!! I’m desperately trying to find your Vegan Condensed Milk and it’s out of stock/discontinued in every supermarket I’ve spoken to, and I need it for my small business!! Is there a shortage or something?.
While another desperate fan said: "Help! What's happened to your vegan condensed milk? Can't find it anywhere. need to make fudge for Christmas!.". A spokesperson confirmed on X, that the product was no more. They said: "We're sorry to have to give you disappointing news, but unfortunately, Carnation Vegan Condensed Milk has been discontinued from our range.".
The news greatly upset customers with one replying: "Why on earth would they do that.". Nestle still sells its original Carnation Condensed Milk, which is made with dairy products and is not vegan. Shoppers still looking for a vegan alternative could try Organic Biona Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk, which retails for £2.40 at Ocado.
