KNORR MICRO NOODLES

‍

Discontinued: September 17, 2018

These microwaveable cup noodles ruled UK convenience food from the late 1990s through the early 2000s. Customers called them “the Gucci of the noodle world” for their taste and convenience. An entire generation grew up eating these as comfort food. Fans still run petition drives demanding their return.

‍

KNORR BEEF PASTA SIDES

‍

Discontinued: End of 2015

This beef-flavored pasta, cooked in 8 minutes, anchored Sunday dinners across America. When Knorr took over from Lipton in the early 2000s, it made the noodles shorter. Ending the original side dish forever.

‍

KNORR BUTTER NOODLE PASTA SIDES

‍

Discontinued: Before September 2018

Simple butter-seasoned pasta that delivered comfort in a pouch. The product used various pasta shapes with basic butter seasoning. Knorr confirmed the discontinuation of the food on social media and pointed customers to their store locator for alternatives.

‍

KNORR SINGAPORE CURRY NOODLES SIDEKICK

‍

Discontinued: Before November 2018

This Asian-spiced noodle dish from Knorr’s Canadian Sidekicks line brought “homey flavor” to dinner tables. Customers said it helped them through tough times. Loyal fans were distraught when it disappeared.

‍

KNORR HOMESTYLE STOCK (ALL VARIETIES)

‍

Discontinued: Supply chain issues

These concentrated stock tubs made rich broths when mixed with boiling water. Customers spotted shortages starting in 2014. Knorr Canada blamed supply chain problems for killing the chicken, beef, and vegetable versions.

‍

KNORR MUSHROOM BOUILLON CUBES

‍

Discontinued: Before 2020

These cubes added earthy mushroom flavor to soups, stews, and rice dishes. Vegetarian cooks loved them for boosting umami without meat. Knorr Canada officially lists them as discontinued. Why? No reason was given.

‍

KNORR 4 PEPPER CLASSIC SAUCE

‍

Discontinued: Before 2020

This sauce mix packed four pepper types into one bold seasoning blend. Home cooks used it to add restaurant-style heat to meat dishes. Before long, it was gone. Probably too spicy for most.

‍

KNORR TOMATO VEGETABLE PROVENCAL SOUP

‍

Discontinued: Before 2020

This soup mixed tomatoes with Mediterranean vegetables and French herbs. It brought European flavors to North American kitchens. But those French flavors couldn’t find their footing in American markets.

‍

KNORR SIDEKICKS GARLIC BUTTER PASTA

‍

Discontinued: Before 2020

Part of the Canadian Sidekicks line, this pasta combined Italian garlic and butter flavors in a convenient side dish. The flavor combo hit mainstream North American tastes. But nobody liked having garlic breath.

‍

KNORR SELECTS POWDER

‍

Discontinued: Before 2020

The Selects Powder line offered premium seasonings without artificial flavors or preservatives. These concentrates claimed to give home cooks restaurant-quality results. Knorr killed the entire line, so I guess it didn’t work.

‍

KNORR SELECTS RICE

‍

Discontinued: Before 2020

The Selects Rice line mixed whole grains, quinoa, and specialty combinations for health-conscious shoppers. It offered gluten-free options and natural ingredients. Knorr axed this premium line, too.
