SHOPPERS have been left gutted after Aldi discontinued one of its popular bakery items.
The Village Bakery Chilli Cheese Topped Rolls had been described by customers as “lush” – but they will no longer be available on shelves.
A post on the Aldi UK Shoppers Facebook group said: “Apparently discontinued has anyone seen these in other supermarkets?”
Aldi has since confirmed to The Sun that the bakery favourite is no longer available.
A spokesperson for the supermarket said: “We continually review our range of products to make sure we’re meeting the needs of Aldi shoppers.”
The rolls came in a pack of four and were topped with a full slice of chilli cheddar cheese.
They had been sold for £1.35.
The bakery favourite was said to have a “warming chilli taste” and was “best dunked in soup”.
Shoppers on the Food Finds UK Official Facebook group previously said the rolls were “so delicious” and “fabulous for dunking in soup”.
Another Aldi customer wrote: “I’ve tried these they are lovely! Lovely paired with the chilli burgers from Aldi too”.
One more said they could “confirm these are banging” while another described them as “lush”.
It’s not the first time Aldi has discontinued a much-loved item.

The supermarket confirmed the news after one customer said her fiance loved them but couldn’t find them on shelves.
Other popular items pulled from Aldi shelves include the Village Bakery Seeded Medium Sliced Loaf, Salted Caramel Teabags, Four Seasons Lemon and Lime Slices, Moser Roth Vegan Blonde Chocolate Bar.
