Nestle has revealed it will be discontinuing two more products from its range in the coming months due to a decline in sales.
The company is known for a range of products including KitKat, Smarties, Quality Street, Haagen-Dazs and Cheerios.
In November last year Nestle revealed it was discontinuing its Caramac and Animal Bars much to the disappointment of fans.
Caramac was discontinued after 64 years, a decision the company said was made due to falling sales.
Nestle to discontinue two more products
Now Nestle has revealed it will be discontinuing two more products in the coming months - Breakaway and Yorkie biscuit bars.
This decision has been made also due to a decline in sales.
The chocolate-covered Breakaway bar - which was launched in 1970 by Rowntree Mackintosh before being acquired by Nestlé in 1988 - will be cut from production in March 2024 to make way for new products.
Breakaway fans can still buy the bar throughout February and March at Sainsbury’s while stocks last.
Nestle is also discontinuing Yorkie Biscuit bars, not to be confused with Yorkie chocolate bars which it said are “staying for good”.
“We have seen a decline in the sales of Breakaway over the past few years and, unfortunately, we had to make the difficult decision to discontinue it.
“By saying goodbye to Breakaway, we can focus on our best-performing brands, as well as develop exciting new innovations to delight consumers’ tastebuds.”
Nestle reveals "exciting new products" coming in 2024
But it is not all bad news for Nestle fans.
On Tuesday (February 6), the confectionary company revealed it has released a new KitKat 4 Finger White chocolate bar.
Nestle also revealed the popular KitKat Chunky White with Lotus Biscoff would be returning to UK stores due to "popular demand".
This announcement came just days after it released two new Aero chocolate bars in supermarkets and stores across the UK - including the brand new choco-Hazelnut flavour.

A variation of the Blue Riband bar – a biscuit called Blue Riband Hazelnut, which will have hazelnut filling layered between the wafers, will also be available in supermarkets from February.
The Nestle spokeswoman confirmed these would not be the only new releases in 2024.
She added: “While we know it’s sad to see Yorkie Biscuit go, we want to assure shoppers that we have plenty of exciting new products lined up for 2024. Watch this space.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
