SHOPPERS are not happy three beloved items will no longer be available at Trader Joe’s this spring.
Trader Joe’s adds new products each season, but unfortunately with new items comes the discontinuation of some fan favorites.
Products can be discontinued for several reasons.
Stores often attribute the products’ disappearance to customer complaints or supply chain issues, but low sales are frequently the main culprit.
A Trader Joe’s employee confirmed three of the chain’s items have been discontinued for good, but shoppers can look forward to one product’s replacement soon.
The U.S. Sun compiled the full list of Trader Joe’s products to say goodbye to this spring.

1. CREAMY CAULIFLOWER JALAPENO DIP
The Creamy Cauliflower Jalapeno Dip was a game changer.
Whether you were looking for the perfect accompaniment to your chips or even a spread to upgrade the flavor profile of your sandwich or wrap, the Creamy Cauliflower Jalapeno Dip had no match.
Shoppers describe the dip as a cauliflower base with a spicy addition of jalapenos, alongside cream cheese, light cream, ricotta and Parmesan for a perfect creamy, cheesy taste.
The dip was also notable because it packed in a delicious taste while still being relatively healthy.

Each serving contained just 40 calories, so the dip wouldn’t break your diet either.
Fans have already expressed their disapproval now that the beloved item is gone.
“It’s so good with carrots, pretzel thins and cucumbers,” one Redditor said of the now discontinued dip.
“The dip is nice and creamy and the first bite was definitely cauliflower forward,” another shopper described its flavor on Reddit.
2. VEGAN SALMONESQUE SPREAD
Trader Joe’s shoppers really had it all when the store launched its plant-based Vegan Salmonesque Spread.
The unique offering allowed vegetarians and vegans to get a taste of lox without the actual salmon meat.
"I love the vegan salmon spread,” one shopper said on TikTok. “It’s the closest thing I’ve had to lox since 2018.”
The salmon spread is made with dairy-free cream cheese and then has bits of plant-based smoked salmon, dill and capers.
The spread was versatile as well, with many shoppers using it on their bagels and others swearing by it as a dip.
Unfortunately, the fun is over as the chain has discontinued the item for good.
“Was actually shocked by how good this is,” one shopper commented on Reddit. “I got it out of intrigue and have gone back to buy another. I haven't eaten lox in probably 6 years, but my partner who orders it regularly for brunch absolutely enjoyed this as well.”
It’s safe to say those who want a salmon substitute will not be pleased the next time they enter their local Trader Joe’s store.
3. MULTIGRAIN WAFFLES
Another morning favorite, the Multigrain Waffles, is missing in action at Trader Joe’s.
The Multigrain Waffles were cherished by Trader Joe’s shoppers who want a healthier option to your everyday breakfast.
The frozen product was adored by many shoppers, but unfortunately, they won’t be able to find it soon.
Shoppers have already come out against the decision.
"Why would they get rid of the multi grain waffles? That’s crazy," a TikToker wrote.
Fortunately, shoppers can anticipate a new waffle offering coming to stores this season.
A Trader Joe’s associate confirmed to The U.S. Sun that a new vendor would be replacing the multigrain waffles, and the retailer will sell them as Whole Grain Waffles.
The new breakfast item is set to arrive in stores starting at the end of May.
