People (including us) are pretty serious about their favorite Trader Joe’s items. From iconic seasonings to unbeatable sweet treats to savory snacks we can’t get enough of, there’s something for everyone in this cult-favorite grocery store. And there’s always more where that came from; Trader Joe’s is constantly developing unique new items. Unfortunately, though, in order to make room for these innovations, we have to say goodbye to our favorites sometimes.
According to a video posted by TikTok user @traderjoestalia (whose account is dedicated to posting about everyone’s favorite grocery store) on April 28, there are a few soon-to-be discontinued products every TJ’s shopper should know about: Creamy Cauliflower Jalapeno Dip, Vegan Salmonesque Spread, and Multi-Grain Waffles. Learn more below!
1. Creamy Cauliflower Jalapeno Dip
When it comes to the tastiest dips out there for your chips, crudites, sandwiches and wraps—or, heck, even your spoon—Trader Joe's has one of the best selections around. Their Creamy Cauliflower Jalapeno Dip is no different.
Just as it sounds, this dip has a cauliflower base and packs in jalapeno peppers for kick, but it also features cream cheese, light cream, ricotta, and Parmesan for seriously creamy action—all at just 40 calories per serving. That's incredible, considering the fact that many popular condiments out there are actually terrible for weight loss. According to @traderjoestalia, though, you won't be able to get it for much longer.
Fans are understandably upset. "Noo! I loved the cauliflower jalapeño dip! I used as a sandwich spread!" one wrote.
Better stock up fast!
2. Vegan Salmonesque Spread
Trader Joe's always offers a wide range of options for shoppers with a variety of dietary restrictions. Their vegan alternatives like this "Salmonesque" spread are especially tasty.
"I love the vegan salmon spread it’s the closest thing I’ve had to lox since 2018," one person comment on Talia's video reads.
"Made with a base of dairy-free cream cheese, to which our supplier adds savory bits of plant-based smoked salmon, chopped dill, and tart, briney capers, each bite of this Spread effortlessly evokes the flavors of our classic Smoked Salmon Dip, all without containing any salmon—or any other animal-based products, for that matter," the Trader Joe's website says about the product. It can be used, of course, on a bagel, but it's also great as a dip. We suggest adding it to anything your heart desires before it leaves store shelves.

3. Multigrain Waffles
It's hard to come by a person who doesn't like waffles. It's also hard to come by a healthy waffle. Most varieties are packed with refined carbs and sugar. If you're looking for the most nutritious option out there, choosing a multigrain product is typically the best way to go.
Joe's offers just that in their frozen section, alongside those iconic hash browns and all the ice cream flavors we can't get enough of—but according to @traderjoestalia, that's about to change. Say it ain't so!
"Why would they get rid of the multi grain waffles? That’s crazy," one TikTok user lamented in the comments.
Luckily, there are always new Trader Joe's products on the horizon; That's the beauty of this store. You know what they say: when one door closes, another one opens. If you're sad to say goodbye to these items, why not set your sights on some of the new seasonal products hitting shelves this spring?
