Tesco has confirmed that it has discontinued one of its popular snack products and customers say they are “devastated”. The supermarket chain has recently axed its Southern Fried Chicken instant noodles.
The noodle product – which cost just 50p both in-store and online – was dried noodles which you cooked in boiling water and added southern fried chicken seasoning to. The packaging described the product as being “packed with flavour”.
Fans of the product have recently taken to social media as they were unable to find the product in their local Tesco stores. Writing in a Reddit thread one shopper said: “These are my go to quick food and my local Tesco has none on the shelf and they’ve disappeared off of the website too. I’ll be gutted if they’ve discontinued them.”
Another person responded, confirming that the product had been axed in their local Tesco store just last month. In response, the original poster said: “That sucks. I really struggle to find noodles like this I enjoy, and these are the only ones I’ve found recently.”
Another suggested that Tesco might be adjusting the recipe or designing new packaging for the product. They added: “I’ve noticed it’s been happening to a lot of Tesco products recently.”

Another fan replied: “Probably, if you liked them, these stores always stop what people like!
However, Tesco has since confirmed that the Southern Fried Chicken instant noodles had indeed been discontinued across its stores nationwide. The reason behind the axing was that Tesco had replaced it with another product with a Chicken flavour that customers could buy.
Tesco’s website shows that it sells a small range of instant noodles under its own-label brand “Hearty Food”. As of writing, shoppers can get Chicken flavour instant noodles and Curry flavour instant noodles for 35p thanks to Aldi’s price match.
Alongside this, customers can grab a pot-noodle inspired Chicken and Mushroom flavour – which comes in a plastic tub – and a Curry flavour for 54p.
Recently, Tesco also discontinued its own-brand tomato and basil soup from its chilled range. The soup was described online as “smooth tomato blend finished with basil and a hint of black pepper”. It was priced at £1.85 for a 600g tub. A Tesco spokesperson confirmed the news, and said it adjusted its soup range throughout the year, in line with demand.
