11 Discontinued Aldi Products We're Probably Never Getting Back

Aldi is a popular grocery store not just in The United States, but around the world. Though the stock may vary from country to country, the brand is constantly reinventing old products to give shoppers more variety. But the hand of Aldi gives and the hand of Aldi takes away. These popular foods have all been discontinued by the German grocery giant for one reason or another.

Aldi sells many of its own private label products, which means that once an item is gone, it's unfortunately gone for good. You won't be able to find these product at other superstores like Target, Walmart, or Amazon. While Trader Joe's and Aldi have a common thread, many of the similar products there just aren't quite exactly the same. Some discontinued items from Aldi, though, you can manage to find or even make your own dupes.

If you've ever wandered the aisles of an Aldi and wondered what happened to one of your favorite products, check this list to see if they've been axed by the grocery retailer. Here are some items that have been discontinued from Aldi that may never return.

The wound is still fresh with the Aldi's Belmont Biscuit Coconut Rings, which were formally discontinued in late 2024. These sweet and buttery cookies were packaged in a bright blue sleeve and sold in Aldi markets around the globe.

In December, Aldi confirmed via social media that the Belmont Biscuit coconut rings would no longer be available in any of the stores. One concerned consumer reached out to the grocer in a desperate search, posting on X (formerly Twitter), "been to three stores and none on shelf — please help." Aldi customer service was quick to respond, confirming that this product was discontinued and suggesting the customer find an "alternative packet" in lieu of their cherished coconut cookies.

Aldi went as far as to remove the coconut ring cookies from the website completely. The former landing page for the cookies now just reads, "we are just taking delivery of some fresh content. Won't be long!" Is the cryptic message a beacon of hope that the coconut ring biscuits will soon return? Or just a corporate message of false hope? Unfortunately for us coconut-heads, it's probably the latter.

While Aldi has a lot of products to improve your at-home coffee corner, its shelves have recently been barren of this one beloved blend. All the German Roasted Ground Coffee got flushed down the drain in mid-2024 when Aldi officially discontinued the product.

The finely ground coffee came in a 500-gram bag in two varieties: a "robust and creamy" regular and a "mellow and smooth" mild. Unlike our lost coconut cookies, the Aldi site still lists the German Roasted Coffee. The bottom of the page, though, states that it is "available while quantities last."

Fans of the coffee are yearning for the good old days when they weren't disappointed by the fine print on the Aldi website. One Reddit user posted their complaint, claiming that their coffee of choice "was replaced with something nowhere near as good." Fans of Aldi's German Roasted Coffee can find similar beans at specialty international stores like World Market.

This store brand sriracha sauce had a distinct garlicky flavor that shoppers loved and Nosferatu probably hated. Luckily for Count Orlok — and unluckily for the rest of us — this Aldi product was discontinued in 2020and hasn't been seen since.

Since discontinuing the Fusia brand version, Aldi has actually not sold any variety of sriracha in stores across the U.S. or Europe in the last five years. Searching for sriracha on the Aldi online store only brings up results for dissimilar style hot sauces. Some customers were able to find chili garlic hot sauces in 2023 that almost resembled sriracha, but were decidedly not the same.

The disappearance of sriracha in Aldi stores across the globe in 2020 coincides with the beginning of the sriracha shortage that we have been facing ever since. Supply chain shortages and COVID-19 conditions in 2020 led to a shortage of jalapeño chili peppers. While the popular Huy Fong Food brand was most affected, sriracha manufacturers around the globe all but stopped production on-and-off for a number of years.

Sriracha is still available in other stores, but you'll be hard pressed to find a bottle at Aldi. Trader Joe's makes a bottle of sriracha that is just as garlicky as the Aldi brand you know and love.

Aldi's Pueblo Lindo line still offers a variety of Latin American staple ingredients like queso fresco, tortillas, corn masa, and a variety of beans. You'll find everything you need at Aldi to make yourself an authentic, restaurant quality burrito. Unfortunately you'll have to search elsewhere if you're more in the mood for enchiladas, since Aldi discontinued its enchilada sauces across the United States around 2019.

The surprisingly low in calorie canned enchilada sauces came in a robust red or green, and were both more on the mild side when it comes to spiciness. Ingredients for the red sauce included water, red peppers, iodized salt, canola oil, corn starch, vinegar, garlic, cumin, and paprika. This simple recipe made for an easy, fool-proof enchilada sauce that Aldi customers loved.

While Aldi did offer a quality enchilada sauce that customers loved, this is a product that is possible to recreate at home. Try spicing yours up a bit with freshly minced garlic cloves, chicken broth, chili powder, and some sliced chipotle chilis in a smoky adobo sauce. If pre-made enchilada sauce is more your speed, you can find both green and red varieties from other brands at other grocery stores like Kroger or Whole Foods Market.

The townspeople of Pueblo Lindo have seemingly fallen on hard times, as not one but two of the popular aisle items have recently been discontinued by the powers that be at Aldi. Perhaps you weren't effected by the great enchilada sauce shortage that started in 2019, but this one is sure to hit home.

The snack food bag of Chile and Lime flavored Taquito Chips left the shelves in early 2024. Similar to Takis, these rolled crispy chips pack a lot of heat. They had more of a distinct citrusy lime flavor, though, and were noticeably less spicy than the name brand Takis.

Luckily for those who liked the flavor profile of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo taquitos more, there is a pretty similar version still available at Trader Joe's. These chili and lime rolled corn tortilla chips have the same tangy flavor as Aldi's with a little less spice than traditional Takis. While we don't have an official statement from Aldi about why the Taquito Chips left shelves, customers noticed that Aldi stores began stocking name brand Takis shortly after the store brand bag's disappearance. The original Takis, which became a popular snack in the mid-2010s, can still be found almost everywhere — from Aldi to The Dollar Tree, where you can find a small bag for even cheaper.

Aldi is originally a German company, and they proved that in the strangest way in late 2024 by starting beef with the Vietnamese — literally. The Fusia Asian Inspiration Veggie Spring Rolls were minding their own business in the frozen section before Aldi decided to give them an American-German upgrade — changing these traditional vegetarian spring rolls into the new and noteworthy Cheeseburger Spring Rolls.

Aldi's somewhat more traditional veggie spring rolls were previously under the store's Asian-inspired Fusia brand. These small, crispy rolls were filled with a mix of vegetables such as carrots and wrapped in a flaky fried casing. Admittedly they were not the most authentic, but certainly a step in the right direction from the delicious monstrosity that is the cheeseburger spring roll. Traditionally, spring rolls are filled with julienned veggies, herbs, and the occasional chicken or shrimp. But cheeseburger? Try for yourself.

Though Aldi rid its shelves of these vegetarian spring rolls in 2024, it surprisingly still carries the Fusia chicken egg rolls in stock– at least for now. While Aldi is seemingly narrowing down its meatless options, it also has another popular brand of egg rolls under the brand Park Street Deli. These chicken or pork egg rolls come with choice of protein as well as cabbage, carrot, and onion and are a must-grab item for many Aldi shoppers.

The chocolate bars are one of the best things to buy at Aldi, and the grocery store chain went as far as to apologize via social media after discontinuing its popular Mosher Rosh Vegan Blonde Chocolate Bar in 2024. Fans of this vegan chocolate compared the bar to "gold dust,"  which is fitting now that this treat is now incredibly rare to find in the wild.

The discontinuation of this product caused an online uproar, the likes of which we haven't seen since the McDonaldland characters disappeared. Fans referred to entire digital forums that were created in honor of their favorite vegan chocolate bar. In October of 2024, an Aldi spokesperson claimed on X (formerly Twitter) that they would be passing along their shoppers' pleas back to "the relevant team." So far, the message has gone unheard, and the Mosher Roth Vegan Chocolate bars are still unavailable at stores around the globe.

The candy, which contained sugar, rice powder, cocoa butter, and almond paste, was Aldi's only option for vegan chocolate available in stores. Searching the vegan selection online now yields multiple flavors of sorbet, sour worms, and "luxury gummy candy", but no truly vegan chocolate bar options.

There are dozens of different brands of vegan chicken tenders on the market now, but Aldi made sure that there was one less option. The Earth Grown Vegan Chickenless Tenders were a fan-favorite, but went extinct when the grocer pulled them from shelves for good. Unfortunately, Aldi's vegan shoppers couldn't even mend their broken hearts over their favorite comfort food.

Customers were upset when Aldi confirmed via social media that the meatless chicken tenders would no longer be available in stores in the United States or United Kingdom in September of 2023. Some people even admitted going to Aldi stores less due to the dwindling vegan foods supply.

These frozen, ready to heat and eat soy tenders came in a 10-ounce box in the frozen section of Aldi stores and contained nine grams of protein per serving. They were sold under the store's Earth Grown brand, which houses many of Aldi's vegetarian and vegan frozen food options.  Besides these breaded soy protein tenders, Aldi still does keep an impressive supply of vegan savory foods, including meatless meatballs, veggie fries, and a variety of roasted nuts. For those of us who can't get enough tenders or nuggets, there are similar vegan varieties from Beyond and Gardein.

Another hit for the mindful eaters out there – Aldi discontinued the lower calorie whole grain waffles in favor of the more successful regular enriched flour variety. The Fit and Active Whole Grain Waffles came in packs of 10 waffles per box, and were made with whole wheat flour.

Though no clear answer was given by Aldi about why these waffles disappeared, fans online seem to agree that the store's Best Breakfast Homestyle Waffles have a superior taste and consistency to the obsolete whole grain waffles. Perhaps it was due to poor sales for the Fit and Active version, or customers having a preference to another store-brand or name-brand label when it comes to frozen waffles. The homestyle waffles themselves aren't incredibly unhealthy, and have just a total of 40 more calories per serving than their whole grain counterparts from Fit and Active.

Aldi's Fit and Active label is described as the stores' "low-calorie, low-carb, low-sugar and low-sodium options," according to the Aldi website. Other products under this label include rice cakes, oatmeal, and whole wheat tortillas.

These Girl Scout cookie dupes were discontinued by Aldi around early 2020 for reasons unknown. The Benton brand still carries other Girl Scout imitation cookies, like Peanut Butter or Caramel Coconut Fudge, but dropped the mint chocolate cookies like a hot potato.

These cookies were lauded for how much they tasted like actual Thin Mints, one of the most popular flavors of Girl Scout cookies in the United States. It's a surprise, then, that Aldi decided to discontinue this popular flavor, unless customers weren't purchasing them at the same rate they bought the real deal minty cookies from their friendly neighborhood Girl Scouts.

In their place, shoppers can find a similar Benton's product — the new mint striped fudge cookies. A reimagining of the classic, these shortbread snacks have ripples of mint on the outside of the cookie as opposed to the inside of a chocolate casing. If you're more in the mood for the traditional method of consumption, there are plenty of other mint fudge cookies that are similar from grocers like Kroger. Of course, nothing compares to the real deal Girl Scout Cookie. Though even those can sometimes be discontinued.

Aldi's line Live-G-Free Wraps went the way of the dodo in 2023, ridding the store's shelves of both the original and spinach version of the gluten free products. These 10-ounce bags came with six wraps each and were perfect for a healthy midday lunch break.

A spokesperson from Aldi confirmed on X (formerly Twitter) that there are "currently no plans for them to return" when asked via social media about the sudden disappearance of these alternative wraps. In addition to the wraps, Aldi also discontinued its line of gluten free bagels around the same time.

Still, Aldi does offer an impressive selection of other wraps for sandwiches, just none of the gluten free variety. If you're intolerant to gluten, or if you've ever just been curious about eating gluten free, it's best to find your wrap fix at another grocery store, such as Trader Joe's, Kroger, or Target.
