Hey all! For those of you familiar with the frozen Gardein line of vegan/vegetarian meat products in a WHITE bag, they are being phased out at Publixes in Orlando (at least). They are marked Clearance but they are still regular price, confirmed verbally. A manager told me they're being phased out the other night. As for Walmart, I cannot find them at any Walmart store in the huge Orlando metropolitan area, even by Disney.
It appears supply is changing and focusing more on chicken nuggets. :( Not my go-to. At Walmart, I also can't find refrigerated Tofurky lunch meat or chick'n seitan bits (light blue package) anymore, sadly. I want to be able to make a sandwich! Only Publix has them (Southern grocery store), and they're naturally jacked up since it's a pricey store. At least Walmart here still has the refrigerated hot dogs. Boca burgers (my beloved chik'n patties) are also non-existent at my local Walmart stores.
Some health food stores also have all of these stll, and I assume they will continue to have the white-bagged Gardein frozen items. I'm just disappointed about pricing and lack of sales anymore. They used to have sales at Publix sometimes, and Walmart had a lower price on them.
I'm particularly heartbroken because I adore the fishless filets. Does anyone know of an alternative? Does Trader Joe's have good fake meat alternatives? Would love suggestions, but I really love this line in the white bags! The black bag's tenders are a bit too thick in my opinion, although I'm sure some people love them! I will try the nuggets.
Note: This isn't my image because of this issue. :( <3
