The meaty item is also showing as "currently out of stock" on the chain's website. Customers can still buy six packs of Tesco Finest Aberdeen Angus Beef Sausages for £3 and four packs of Tesco Finest Pork and Beef smoked sausages for £4. Retailers often discontinue products to make way for newer items on shelves and based on sales and customer demand. Tesco recently confirmed it axed popular southern fried chicken flavour instant noodles, for example. The pack costed around 50p and was available in store and online, but was dropped and replaced with another chicken flavour shoppers could buy. Tesco also recently cut its own-brand tomato and basil soup from its chilled range. The retailer confirmed it had made the change because it adjusts its soup range across the year to reflect seasonal demand. Tesco shoppers were also shocked to find the supermarket no longer stocks six-pint cartons of milk. OTHER DISCONTINUED PRODUCTS The Sun exclusively revealed last month Cadbury's has axed Fry's Coffee Cream after first launching it in 2023. Weetabix discontinues popular cereal flavour Cadbury didn't say when the Fry's Coffee Cream multi-packs were discontinued - just that they were available while stocks lasted. Carlsberg Britvic has also axed Tango Dark Berry Sugar Free after customers reported struggling to find it on shelves. A spokesperson for the drinks maker said it stopped making the fizzy drink earlier this year. Meanwhile, Sainsbury's recently confirmed it had discontinued its Patisserie Valerie cake slices from branches. Aldi also axed its popular Deli smoke pork sausages across 100 stores leaving shoppers devastated. Lidl dropped beloved fridge essential Dairy Manor lactose-free skimmed milk from shelves recently too. Sainsbury's has also axed popular own-brand Meat Free Steaks to customer frustration. Baked goods giant Greggs recently caused a stir after dropping ham salad baguettes from menus, as exclusively revealed by The Sun. The lunch item was axed in favour of other fresh baguettes, despite its popularity among hungry shoppers. 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. Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?
