Winkabix stops breakfast quietly in all British supermarkets

Wissenabix has quietly stopped a breakfast favorite, so that shoppers scratch their heads.

Alpine grain bars have now disappeared permanently from the boards of the supermarket.

The snack, usually garnished with chocolate or yogurt, has been a staple in many British kitchen cabinets since the early nineties.

Alpine bars were also loved by many who look at what they eat or follow a slimming world or weight Watchers diet plan, because the treat contained few calories.

Eagle -eyed shoppers were confused after they could not have found the food item for weeks on the supermarket’s shelves.

A customer took matters in his hands and e -mailed knowabix to find out where the product had gone.

They shared the experience on Reddit, writing that breakfast giant came back to them and said, “They stopped the whole line”.

The sun extended to Weerabix who confirmed that Alpine bars are no longer.

A spokesperson said: “As part of our focus on long -term growth and simplifying the company, we have made the decision to terminate Alpine bars in 2024.

“This change enabled us to re -use our teams for our most valuable products, which supports the continuous growth of our core activities.”

“We are pleased to confirm that, as a result of this decision, the majority of our brilliant people have chosen to stay and help us stay focused on delivering the well -tasting, nutritious products that our consumers know and trust.”

The news Has recommended a heartache of many fans of the lighter snack.

One shopper shared: “I remember them when I was a child! That is really sad, I actually loved those bars.”

While a second destroyed fan said: “Another icon disappeared, and I don’t even have in the closet that I can hawk on ebay, how sad.”

And a third said: “Oh no! Instead I have to eat too many fiber products! Sorry Alps! I always ate so many Alpine bars when I was younger.”

But others were not so sympathetic, in which another person shared that the company “did society a favor” by having the treat, adding that it tasted “terribly”.

Alpen’s entire series of grain bar, including Alps Light and Alps Delight has been stopped.

However, shoppers can continue to buy his range of muesli, which costs around £ 3 of large supermarkets.

You may still see a few alpine bars in the shelves, but these are probably supermarkets that sell old shares before their best for date hits.

More recently, Salisburys also said that it no longer sold Yeo Valley Organic Greek recipe Peach & Raspberry Yoghurts.

Why are products executed or recipes changed?

Analysis by Chief Consumer Reporter James Flanders.

It is known that food and drink makers completely adjust their recipes or ax items.

They often say that this is due to the changing flavors of customers.

There are several reasons why this could be done.

For example, government regulations, such as the ‘sugar load’, forces companies to change their recipes.

Some manufacturers can choose to adjust ingredients to save costs.

They can opt for a cheaper alternative, especially when the costs rise to keep prices stable.

Tango Cherry, for example, disappeared from the shelves in 2018.

It has recently returned after six years, but as a sugar -free version.

Fanta removed the sweetener from its sugar -free alternative earlier this year.

Suntory Tweak The taste of his flagship Luczade original and orange energy drinks.

While the amount of sugar in each bottle remains unchanged, the supplier exchanged the sweetener aspartame for Sucralose.
