ALDI has discontinued a popular deli snack in supermarkets and it’s left shoppers devastated.
The German discounter has dropped Deli Smoked Pork Sausage and Deli Smoked Reduced Fat Pork Sausage 160g packs from many of its shelves.

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.
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.
