Aldi has apologised after confirming it has discontinued two biscuit varieties from it's range.
Aldi is the fourth-largest supermarket in the UK, and consumer champion Which? has named it the UK’s cheapest supermarket for the past three years (and for every month so far in 2024).
The supermarket giant has already discontinued several products from its range in 2024.
Aldi revealed earlier this year its Village Bakery Seeded Medium Sliced Loaf had been cut from its range.
It also told shoppers in October it had discontinued Salted Caramel Teabags.
While the supermarket giant confirmed recently it's Moser Roth Vegan Blonde Chocolate bar (100g) had been also been discontinued despite fans labelling it "literally the best chocolate ever".

Aldi discontinues two biscuit varieties
