"A nostalgic Trader Joe's sweet treat is back after four years - but don't expect it to be an exact match for the lost Belgian chocolate pudding cups. Shoppers have noticed chocolate pudding and rice pudding cups cropping up in new item displays. The Trader Joe's snack packs come with four cups of pudding, just like the childhood favorites you may have had tucked in your lunch box. Four-packs will set you back $2.99."
"Trader Joe's partners with suppliers to manufacture their low-cost foods, and items are regularly discontinued for a variety of reasons, including partnerships ending or supply-chain issues. The revival of Trader Joe's pudding caused a stir on Reddit, where fans of the Belgian pudding were quick to compare the two products. Most agreed the new pudding cups are much less indulgent, with one calling them "like a jello pudding cup but slightly better.""
Trader Joe's returned chocolate and rice pudding cups after about four years, packaged in four-packs priced at $2.99. The pudding is described on Trader Joe's website as an elegant, rich, and creamy chocolate pudding with a smooth, silky texture made by a supplier specializing in desserts. The previous Belgian chocolate pudding was discontinued four years earlier due to supplier or supply-chain and partnership issues common in private-label sourcing. Reddit shoppers compared the new cups unfavorably to the Belgian pudding, calling them less indulgent and likening them to slightly improved jello pudding cups. A request form exists for reviving discontinued items.
