Aldi confirms discontinued popular snack and customers are sad they need to search elsewhere

ALDI has confirmed that multiple popular snack items are gone from its shelves.

A fan of the grocery retailer recently drew fears over two chip brands disappearing - the Specialty Selected Emmentaler and Gouda Cheese Bites.

The customer asked if they were ever coming back, and Aldi said in a Twitter reply: "Sad to say, this item has been discontinued."

The fan of the items then responded with a sad emoji.

While the snacks are still listed through Instacart, they can't be bought anymore, and the price they were being sold for when they were in stock is unclear.

Aldi on the label described both chips that sold in 4.4-ounce bags as having sweet and creamy cheese flavors.

ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE

Unfortunately, shoppers who were fans of the two cheese snacks will have to find other options.

Luckily a brand known as Whisps is available throughout grocery stores in the United States.

For example, Walmart sells the cheddar cheese variety in a 1.95-ounce bag for $2.98.

At Target, in comparison, a 2.12-ounce bag sells for $4.49.

But keep in mind that prices can vary by state and Whisps makes other flavors including parmesan.

OTHER ALDI DISCONTINUED PRODUCTS

Meanwhile, Aldi has also confirmed it has discontinued other products recently.

This includes its Vista Bay Margarita Hard Seltzers, with fans saying they would cherish the remaining few left.

Luckily, other flavors are still available including black cherry, lime, ruby grapefruit, and raspberry.

The Pueblo Lindo Taquitos chips have been taken off the shelves too.

Aldi sold the chips in 9.9-ounce bags and it featured a twist of both chili and lime flavors.

Also, they were rolled in zesty to give them an extra kick.

The exact reason why the Taquitos were pulled from the shelves at Aldi isn't clear but the retailer has been discontinuing other fan favorites as well.

This includes pulling cheeses such as Vintage Irish Cheddar and Aged Reserved White Cheddar from the shelves.

Also, the grocery chain has axed My Beauty Spot's scented anti-bacterial hand wipes from its lineup.
