Aldi confirms axing of two fan-favourite biscuits as shoppers notice treats missing from shelves
Aldi has sparked disappointment among loyal customers after quietly discontinuing two popular snack items from its range.
The budget supermarket has confirmed it will no longer stock Coconut Rings and Chocolate Rich Tea biscuits, leaving shoppers devastated.
The changes came to light after customers took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to question the disappearance of their favourite treats from store shelves.
Multiple shoppers reported being unable to find the items across different Aldi locations, prompting official responses from the supermarket confirming their discontinuation.
One frustrated customer took to X to plead with the supermarket about the missing Coconut Rings.
“@Aldi Where have these gone? My fiancé loves them and was going to get 50 packets for his 50th birthday in 3 weeks,” they wrote.
The shopper reported visiting three different stores without success in finding the beloved snack.
Similar disappointment was expressed by customers seeking Chocolate Rich Tea biscuits, with multiple social media users questioning their sudden disappearance from shelves.
The outcry prompted Aldi to address the situation directly with affected customers.
Responding to customer queries, Aldi’s social media team confirmed the disappointing news about both products.
“I’m so sorry, but this product has been discontinued,” Aldi told the customer. “We hope your fiancé finds an alternative packet to fall in love with.”
The response was similarly apologetic regarding the Chocolate Rich Tea biscuits.
