SHOPPERS are distraught after the New York Bakery Co has confirmed it has discontinued one if it’s most popular bagel flavours.
The blueberry bagel was first available to buy in stores from April 15, but it was only ever a limited edition item.
A spokesperson for New York Baker Co told The Sun: “The Limited Edition run of our Blueberry Bagels has come to an end, but we are pleased to announce the arrival of our latest flavour: Sweet Maple Bagels.
“Featuring a delicious blend of rich maple and cinnamon, these bagels offer a unique, seasonal bagel twist that customers are sure to enjoy.
“Available for a limited time only – be sure to try them while stocks last.”
However, fans have expressed their disappointment that the Blueberry Bagels will no longer be stocked on supermarket shelves.
Commenting on the New York Bagel Co Instagram page, one person commented: “My local Asda and Morrisons stopped stocking them. They have some maple flavour instead. Please bring the blueberry bagels back and make them permanent.”
Another said: “These are insane! Gutted they were only limited edition!”
Someone else added: “My local Morrisons have stopped stocking these and I miss them so much!!”
In response, the New York Bagel Co commented: “We’ll let the team know you’d like to see them return!”
Another customer commented: “Please bring back the blueberry bagels and make them permanent. Local Morrisons and Asda stopped selling them, I loved them, was having them every day for breakfast.”
The new sweet maple flavoured bagels are available to buy in Tesco, Morrisons, Asda and Waitrose for £2.10.

We had also had a look around to see what alternative flavours might tempt your tastebuds.
New York Bakery Co sells cinnamon and raisin bagels for between £1.25 at Asda and £2 at Waitrose.
Red onion and chive flavour is available at Asda for £1.25, £1.89 and Morrisons and £1.90 at Waitrose.
Plus, if you’re feeling adventerous, there is even a cookies n’ cream flavour on shelves at Asda for £1.25, Morrisons at £1.89 or Sainsbury’s at £1.90.
We recently put supermarket own-brand bagels to the test to see if there was one that beat New York Bagel Company on taste and price.
We found that if you were to swap the branded bagels for the winner in your weekly grocery shop, you’d slash £20 off your grocery bill.
Plus, we revealed that the manufacturer had cut its supermarket bagels from 90g each to 85g while keeping their price the same.
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they’ve been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you’ll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you’ll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching “finest” or “luxury” products and instead going for “own” or value” type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they’re misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you’re on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
