ALDI has confirmed that its popular gluten-free cheesecake is currently discontinued, but it has left the door open for a possible return.
The discount retail giant sells numerous gluten-free options under its proprietary brand LiveGFree.
The brand is especially popular with shoppers with celiac disease, who have trouble digesting gluten.
The store previously sold gluten-free cheesecakes in the frozen foods aisle.
Yet, the cheesecakes have not been spotted since May, which also happens to be Celiac Disease Awareness Month.
"My youngest has celiac disease and has been waiting for @AldUSA to have their gluten-free cheesecake again. I finally see that it is available on their website. Out of stock. 3 stores checked & all are out of stock," one shopper tweeted to Aldi.

Aldi responded that the cheesecake was indeed discontinued.
"The last time we had gluten-free cheesecake was back in May, so it is not currently available," Aldi said.
The door is being left open for the item to return at some point.
"We hope we can have it again in the future, though!" Aldi said.

Other LiveGFree options currently include frozen dinners, snacks, and bread.

While Aldi has confirmed it has one less gluten-free option on the shelves, Taco Bell has expanded its vegan menu at select locations.
The fast-food chain will start offering a vegan version of its Crunchwrap at just three locations in cities that have a prominent vegan market: New York City, Los Angeles, and Orlando.
Rather than use popular faux-meat fillings like Beyond Meat, the Vegan Crunchwrap is made with a new proprietary filling created from scratch by Taco Bell.
It includes other vegan spins on Crunchwrap ingredients including cool vegan blanco sauce and warm vegan nacho sauce.
The wrap also features shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a tostada shell.
The Vegan Crunchwrap has been certified vegan by the American Vegetarian Association.
It will be available for a limited time at these locations:
- 11893 East Colonial Drive, Orlando, Florida
- 6741 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, California
- 976 6th Ave, New York, New York
Taco Bell did not confirm when the Vegan Crunchwrap will be sold nationwide.
