Trader Joe's confirms it discontinued fan favorite 'staple' and customers say their 'heart is broken'

TRADER Joe's confirmed it has discontinued a popular product at its nationwide locations.

Customers have complained of being heartbroken by the grocery store's decision.

Trader Joe's has discontinued its cilantro jalapeño hummus, the store confirmed to The U.S. Sun.

The chickpea-based spread was known for its smooth and creamy texture with a delicate kick of spice.

The beloved dip has actually been absent from shelves since February, but fans only recently began noticing it was missing.

"Why would Trader Joe's discontinue their cilantro and jalapeño hummus?" asked one on Twitter, adding two crying emojis.

In a Reddit community for Trader Joe's fans, one posted: "My heart is broken."

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" exclaimed another. "It's basically the only reason I ever go there."

Other fans claimed that an alternative jalapeño cilantro hummus is sold at rival store Sprouts.

But one wrote: "The other cilantro jalapeño hummus brands out there don't compare to Trader Joe's version."

Trader Joe's is known for its quirky, unique products.

So when these one-of-a-kind items are discontinued, it can leave customers feeling close to devastated.

That was the case when the grocery giant told The U.S. Sun that its vegan chicken-less seasoning is gone for good.

The seasoning salt contained onion powder, garlic powder, and turmeric to mimic the flavors of seasoned chicken.

Fans even went as far as to start a petition online to bring it back, which collected hundreds of signatures.

The favored store also recently axed its multigrain waffles - which were a healthier twist on the iconic breakfast treat.

And another item to leave the shelves was tabbouleh-style hummus, which featured chunks of tomato, parsley, onion, mint, and lemon.

Trader Joe's also recently shared the truth about a customer "conspiracy theory" concerning its small parking lots.
