Supermarkets including Asda and Iceland axe popular Nando's item from shelves
Plus, we share more products which have vanished from shelves NOT PERI GOOD Supermarkets including Asda and Iceland axe popular Nando's item from shelves SUPERMARKETS including Asda and Iceland have axed a popular Nando's items from shelves, Nando's Wrap Kits have now permanently disappeared from shelves. Advertisement 1 The popular wrap kits are no longer available to buy Credit: NANDOS The product came with four wraps and a range of spice and sauces, allowing customers to create their own meals inspired by the iconic chain. The product cost around £3.30 and was sold in Iceland, Asda, Tesco, Morrisons and Sainsbury's. Heartbroken fans took to social media to find out where the product had gone to. In a Reddit post, one shopper said: "I loved the medium wrap kits, but they seem to be out of stock everywhere, and for months now." Advertisement The Sun reached out to Nando's who confirmed the product was axed last year. The group said "We often make changes to our Grocery range as we continue to develop new ways for fans to enjoy the Nando's flavour at home." It will come as a blow to fans who described it as the "perfect fake-away" option. Another shopper said the product was the "best thing to ever come to supermarkets". Advertisement It is not the first time Nando's has shaken up its product offering both on supermarket shelves and at its restaurants. The Leafy Green Salad – a light, fresh option topped with PERi-PERi seeds – has been discontinued, with the chain confirming it was removed back in October. Nandos fans say as Aldi stocks a replica range - including their peri-peri fries for just £1.49 But the chain has added a number of new menu items for the summer. That includes The Big Cheese, a juicy new burger packed with grilled halloumi, red pepper and pineapple salsa, creamy avocado slices, and slathered in the new Churrasco PERinaise. Advertisement It also launched new Halloumi Sticks and a brand new PERi-Honey dip The Halloumi Sticks & Dip with PERi-Honey will cost £4.95. The dip will also be available as an extra for £1.25. MORE DISCONTINUED PRODUCTS And Nando's is not the only chain switching up its product offerings. Dr Oetker has axed its popular Pizza Pollo from supermarket shelves. Advertisement Meanwhile, Nestle has axed multi-packs of its Dark Chocolate Mint Kit Kats. The bars were previously on sale at Waitrose Sainsbury's and Tesco but are now showing as out of stock on the retailer's websites. Morrisons is the only major supermarket still selling the nine-pack - and has slashed the price from £2.20 to £1.50.
