Trader Joe’s Is Discontinuing These 4 Items — Eat This Not That

Trader Joe’s is known for its unique and delicious products, but unfortunately, some of them have to go. The grocery chain recently announced that it is discontinuing four items from its shelves. Here’s what you need to know about the items that are being discontinued and what you can eat instead.

1. Trader Joe’s Organic Coconut Milk Beverage

Trader Joe’s Organic Coconut Milk Beverage was a popular choice for those looking for a dairy-free alternative to cow’s milk. Unfortunately, the beverage is being discontinued due to a lack of demand. If you’re looking for a dairy-free alternative, try Trader Joe’s Almond Milk Beverage or Soy Milk Beverage.

2. Trader Joe’s Organic Coconut Water

Trader Joe’s Organic Coconut Water was a great way to get your daily dose of electrolytes. Unfortunately, the product is being discontinued due to a lack of demand. If you’re looking for a coconut water alternative, try Trader Joe’s Sparkling Coconut Water or Coconut Water with Mango.

3. Trader Joe’s Organic Coconut Chips

Trader Joe’s Organic Coconut Chips were a great way to get your daily dose of healthy fats. Unfortunately, the product is being discontinued due to a lack of demand. If you’re looking for a coconut chip alternative, try Trader Joe’s Coconut Clusters or Coconut Flakes.

4. Trader Joe’s Organic Coconut Oil

Trader Joe’s Organic Coconut Oil was a great way to get your daily dose of healthy fats. Unfortunately, the product is being discontinued due to a lack of demand. If you’re looking for a coconut oil alternative, try Trader Joe’s Organic Virgin Coconut Oil or Organic Refined Coconut Oil.

Trader Joe’s is discontinuing these four items, but there are plenty of other delicious and healthy options to choose from. Be sure to check out the store’s other products and find something new to try!

Trader Joe’s rolls out tons of new products every month, but the popular store must, in turn, discontinue products now and again as well. The reasoning behind discontinuations isn’t always clear, but oftentimes it’s just due to low sales or simply needing to make space on the shelves for something newer and better.

In the coming days, TJ’s plans to discontinue a few products that might be your favorites. That means if you haven’t already checked your local store, the time is now to do so. Grab what you can of what’s left so you’ll have at least a little bit longer with the products. Hopefully, you’ll be able to find an acceptable substitute on Trader Joe’s shelves in the future. In the meantime, here’s what’s going away at Trader Joe’s soon.

Trader Joe’s isn’t getting rid of all of its cat food, but it’s saying farewell to a few items. The chain said in a statement posted in April that the food was getting dropped due to “inconsistent availability and ongoing sourcing issues.”

Leaving the shelves are Ocean Fish, Salmon & Rice Dinner Premium Cat Food, Turkey & Giblets Dinner Premium Cat Food, Grain Free Salmon Recipe Cat Food, and Grain Free Turkey Recipe Cat Food.

With some cat foods leaving shelves, naturally that means some of the dog food is going away as well. Not as much, though!

Types that will no longer be available to purchase are the Grain Free Beef Recipe Dog Food and Grain Free Chicken Recipe Dog Food. There are still other options available at Trader Joe’s for your furry friend, but if they’re currently eating one of these two, your best bet is to buy a few more cans and start weaning them off it and onto something new.

Your nightly routine might have to change if you currently love to sip on this herbal tea. The blend of hibiscus and lemongrass is a zinger on a cold night, but it’s about to disappear for good, according to the Instagram account @traderjoestobediscontinued.

TJ’s has some comparable teas you can pick up if you want something herbal, as well as black and green varieties if you need some caffeine.

The Dark Russet Potato Chips at Trader Joe’s are the ultimate crunchy snack and these kettle chips are not for eating in quiet places. Alas, @traderjoestobediscontinued says they’re about to leave shelves for good, but you can grab a few bags and put them in the freezer to stock up.

Once they’re gone, you’ll have to move on to one of TJ’s other many snack offerings. Fortunately, the store has a lot to choose from, including chips, pretzels, and popcorn galore.
