Example of a great snack. These were my favorite pretzels at one point. Currently craving.

For some reason, they have vanished from European markets some time ago.

Not this brand, but I find them very easily in Germany. At least 3 different brands are available at the grocery stores near me.

Which ones? I'm looking for these in canada

These taste the best:

I know there are alternatives, but they actually taste different.

But primarily I was wondering why they vanished from the shelves.

Yeah they added some ingredient that's banned over here. It was the only food I ever bought from Amazon. If you're in UK, farmfoods sell a good substitute called munchkings pretzel crush

I'll look out for them in June. Are they sold at Tesco's?

[–] GiveOver@feddit.uk 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Not sure, only ever seen them at farmfoods

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Oh, farmfoods is a chain, or something? Have not seen one yet.

banned over here

Soooooo maybe that should indeed be a reason to stop eating them?

We also ban women from using the womens bathroom. Government's tapped mate.

Read the ingredients to know why

They are tasty but deadly

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Difficult to read when they are no longer available.

No need to shout 😃

Hmm. Canola oil in food?

Sodium hydroxide is E524 and works as an acid regulator. Not something people expect in food, but used quite often, e.g. to counteract hydrochloric acid used to peel fruits.

Looks like HSP (hydrolized soy protein) could be the issue. I think I remember it to be a potential carcinogen, so the FDA would permit it until people can prove they died from it...

No need to shout 😃

it was a copy / paste from their site

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I know. That's why I added the 😃.

Oh, no. That sucks. Is there a bad ingredient in them, or something? I buy off brand

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

No idea what happened. I used to buy them occasionally, and then they were no longer available. So they still exist. I thought that this was caused by it to be only a short-term thing or a trial run.
