The retailer confirmed they were axed from around 100 of its branches.
News that the sausages, which Aldi says are perfect with pasta, wraps and rice, have been discontinued has not been met well by shoppers.
One posted on X saying: "What happened to these man. Just disappeared off the shelves.
"Please bring them back, I'm on my knees."
It's not the first product Aldi has discontinued in recent months, to shoppers' disappointment.
The discounter confirmed it had dropped a popular Olaplex dupe that was £24 cheaper than the real thing last month.
In February, shoppers' favourite £2.99 Liz Earle beauty dupe was pulled from shelves.
The discounter has stopped making the hot cloth cleanser which many said was similar to Liz Earle's £30 Cleanse and Polish cleanser.
Aldi actually discontinued the product last spring, but some shoppers only started realising last month.
It also axed its popular Very Berry Muesli in February, which had been missing from supermarket shelves.
Which chocolate bars have been discontinued in the UK?
It's worth bearing in mind though that retailers often discontinue products based on customer demand and sales.
SAVE MONEY AT ALDI
Keep an eye out for products with red stickers on them at Aldi.
These are added to items that have been reduced due to them being close to their best before date or slightly damaged.
The best time to get these reduced products is towards the end of the day, when you can get discounts worth up to 75%.
Aldi shoppers can pick up Too Good to Go bags of fresh food worth £10 for £3.30 too.
You can pick them up in stores but there are only a limited amount each day.
Aldi also offers cheap fruit and veg as part of its Everyday Essentials range, including discounted wonky bundles.
You can grab a wonky 1.5kg bag of carrots for 60p and a pack of wonky grapes for £1.49 in branches.
Keep an eye on the middle aisle shelves of your local Aldi branch too - the discounter is often flogging quirky and discounted stuff there.
Shoppers recently saw 300g pouches of Quality Street selling for 49p instead of £1.99 at one branch.
Why are products axed or recipes changed?
ANALYSIS by chief consumer reporter James Flanders.
Food and drinks makers have been known to tweak their recipes or axe items altogether.
They often say that this is down to the changing tastes of customers.
There are several reasons why this could be done.
For example, government regulation, like the "sugar tax," forces firms to change their recipes.
Some manufacturers might choose to tweak ingredients to cut costs.
They may opt for a cheaper alternative, especially when costs are rising to keep prices stable.
For example, Tango Cherry disappeared from shelves in 2018.
It has recently returned after six years away but as a sugar-free version.
Fanta removed sweetener from its sugar-free alternative earlier this year.
Suntory tweaked the flavour of its flagship Lucozade Original and Orange energy drinks.
While the amount of sugar in every bottle remains unchanged, the supplier swapped out the sweetener aspartame for sucralose.

Jurgen Klopp's three-word response to huge Florian Wirtz transfer speaks volumes

Liverpool confirmed the signing of top transfer target Florian Wirtz on Friday, having agreed a deal with Bayer Leverkusen to sign him for a British-record £116million fee Jurgen Klopp has offered his seal of approval to Liverpool's new £116million signing, Florian Wirtz. The German playmaker, 22, has joined the Reds on a five-year contract after completing a British-record move from Bayer Leverkusen. Wirtz was Liverpool's top target going into the summer transfer window and they've managed to beat Manchester City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich to his signature. The deal is comprised of £100m paid to Leverkusen upfront with a further £16m in potential add-ons. ‌ It's by far the biggest signing made since Klopp departed Anfield, with his successor, Arne Slot, having led the Reds to the Premier League title in his first season. Slot's reward is to work with a top talent like Wirtz and Klopp has no doubts that he'll be 'really, really great' on Merseyside. ‌ During an interview with to German broadcaster RTL, the former Liverpool boss was asked to give his verdict of the transfer. "It will be really, really great," Klopp replied. "I'm sure of it." The legendary manager went on to say: "It's very difficult to strengthen them when you're champions. But Liverpool have managed that. They've signed an exceptional talent in Florian Wirtz." Wirtz had the pick of some of Europe's best clubs but he and his family felt that Liverpool was the perfect next step. "I just thought that it was the right point in my career to make the next step and of course I wanted to get to a club that is from the top three in the world, and in my opinion Liverpool was one of them," the 31-time Germany international explained. "Yeah, I just saw myself in the best hands in Liverpool. I was really convinced by the people here, by the idea, and everything what the club offers me was really good. And in the end [it was] also easy to be excited for me to come to Liverpool. Will Florian Wirtz live up to his £116m price tag at Liverpool? Give us your prediction in the comments section. ‌ "It was not that easy for me, for sure, because I am a German player, I play for the Germany national team. So, it was not easy for me to decide but I think the talks with the coach and Richard [Hughes, Liverpool's sporting director] and everybody were, from the start or from the very first time, so good and it just kept going like this. "Every time I spoke to one of the [people from] the club I felt like, 'this is the place I want to be' and so in the end I was really 100 percent convinced I want to join Liverpool and it was the best choice."

Aldi declares war on Trader Joe's after stocking shelves with popular, sold-out item

Aldi is stepping up its battle with Trader Joe's by releasing a snack that is eerily similar to one its competitor can't keep on the shelves. Aldi, the fastest growing supermarket in the US, recently introduced a Kimbap to its frozen foods aisle. Trader Joe's has their own version of the Korean sushi but it has been so popular fans have reported not being able to find it anywhere. Aldi's new fully-cooked Kimbap comes in two flavors, Traditional and Tuna Mayo The Traditional option is labelled as 'Korean-style imitation crab, egg, carrots, spinach, and pickled daikon in a seaweed rice roll.' While the Tuna Mayo is described on the packaging as 'Tuna mayo & perilla leaf in a seaweed rice roll.' The discounted supermarket previously stocked a similar Kimbap in Spicy Tuna With Gochujang, Kimchi & Tofu, Spicy Salmon and BBQ Beef Bulgogi flavors. All the flavors comes as a hand roll divided into eight conveniently bite-sized pieces and cost $3.49 each. The new Kimbap treats appear to be going down well with Aldi shoppers. 'I grabbed both the other day while I was on my break, I liked the tofu kimchi more but the spicy tuna was good also!' one fan wrote on Reddit. 'Highly recommend if anyone finds them in their stores.' 'I went back to get more, and was grateful to see folks had snapped up the spicy tuna and left the tofu ones behind,' another added. However, the new snacks are proving so popular Aldi may soon run in to the same issue as Trader Joe's as one customer claims they can no longer locate them. 'I can only find these at Trader Joe's and not my local Aldi,' they wrote. Aldi is continuing to expand across the US with plans to add another 800 stores to its existing 2,4000 in the next four years. Although the retailer has been in the US since 1976, only recently did it begin scooping up a larger share of the market. The retailer was recently named the fastest-growing grocer in the US for the fifth year in a row by real estate firm JLL, and in terms of store count it's the third largest. 'No one else is putting up 100 stores a year in the grocery space,' said Michael Infranco, assistant vice president at RetailStat. 'That's impressive. And they've been doing that for a number of years now.' Aldi's business model revolves around small stores, packed with a limited assortment of well-curated but mostly private label goods.
