Among the hundreds of references present on the shelves of each Mercadona, the clientele remains very attentive to what is and what is not, and even makes their public requests to find out what happened with a product that was happily consumed and is no longer on the shelves.
Well, it is common in Mercadona and other supermarkets to come and go of products that undergo improvements in the content or also in the packaging, while in other cases they never return, leaving the clientele helpless.
In this specific case, a user had requested through networks the Juan Roig’s chain to clarify specifically: “Can you tell me if you have removed the wheat semolina. I can’t find it anywhere, ”he expressed.
Another user said: “I imagine that you have already been asked, but just in case… What happened to the wheat and rice semolina? I don’t understand why it has disappeared from your shelves. It is an essential food”, and finished off the message of November 2022 with a sad face.
This week, Mercadona has given (to the users who had lamented) the good news of the return of this basic stating: “As of today we have wheat semolina in our stores again.”
Hello, we contacted you to tell you that as of today we have wheat semolina in our stores again. We have made a change to the packaging in order to reduce the amount of plastic, now it is paper instead of plastic, but the semolina is exactly the same.
