A SEASONAL essential is no longer on shelves at Aldi, upsetting fans.
The discount grocery giant confirmed it no longer sells buttermilk.
The dairy product, which is a liquid produced when butter is churned out of cream, has many different culinary uses, especially in the fall.
It is a popular ingredient in baked goods like pancakes, as well as a tenderizer for meat.
It is especially popular in the Fall and holiday season as interest in baked goods spikes.
Yet, Aldi confirmed it no longer carries buttermilk, not even in the fall.

"It's something we sold in the past as a seasonal item, but it was discontinued," Aldi confirmed to a concerned fan on X, formerly Twitter recently.
Aldi did leave the door open to a potential return at some point.
"We can let our buying teams know that you'd really like to see it come back!"

Krispy Kreme recently announced the return of Apple Fritters just in time for the beginning of fall.
"Apple Fritters are a classic. Handmade with apple filling, diced apples and plenty of cinnamon, this fritter is glazed to perfection," said the doughnut chain.
The news came on the heels of its pumpkin-spice lineup announcement.
Fans can grab Pumpkin Spice Original Glazed Doughnuts, Pumpkin Spice Cake Doughnuts, and a few other variations of the fall-flavor favorite.
And they can wash the treats down with a Pumpkin Spice Latte or Pumpkin Spice Coffee.
Yet, they will have to act fast.
The pumpkin spice selection only is available through October 8.
Wendy's also recently announced the addition of the Pumpkin Spice Frosty and Pumpkin Spice Frosty Cream Cold Brew.
The seasonal frosty is an important pillar of Wendy's beverage strategy, according to Lindsay Radkoski, US chief marketing officer for The Wendy's Company.
"From our summertime Strawberry Frosty to last year's holiday Peppermint Frosty, and now our fall Pumpkin Spice Frosty, we are all about meeting our Frosty fans where they are by bringing familiar, and iconic, seasonal flavors to the menu," she said.
Both drinks will be available for a limited time while supplies last.
