Credit: Greggs
The bargain delight, packed with peppers, carrots, chickpeas, potatoes, broccoli sweetcorn and spices, first launched in stores back in November 2023.
It has featured on menus a number of times since then and returned for Veganuary at the start of this year and usually retailed for around £2.10.
Over the past few days, fans have taken to Reddit to find out where the beloved snack has gone.
One customers said: "Does anyone know if the spicy veg bake at Greggs has been stopped?
"My youngest was gutted we couldn't get it last weekend and I don't want to take him in again if they've stopped selling it."
Others were quick to chime in and agree they had noticed it was no longer in stores.
Another fan wrote: "It looks to me like they have discontinued it. It's not listed on their website anymore."
While a third added: "I'm sorry for your loss but I really hope this means the [vegan] steak bake is coming back.
A Greggs spokesperson said: 'The limited-edition Spicy Veg Curry Bake has now come off the menu to make room for our brand-new Red Pepper, Spinach and Feta Bake, which has landed in shops as part of our summer menu."
Greggs will raise prices next week in hikes branded a 'theft tax', as Sun reporters again witnessed brazen thefts across UK
It's not the first time Greggs has axed a menu item leaving fans upset.
Last May, the high street chain axed it's vegan stake beak last and in March this year in confirmed it would no longer serve its ham salad baguette.
The lunch item has dropped off the menu in favour of other fresh baguettes, despite regulars insisting it was popular.
It is not uncommon for the bakery giant to switch up its menu to make way for new products.
WHAT IS NEW AT GREGGS
Just this week, the firm unveiled a whole new summer menu.
A wave of new options have landed across its 2,600 stores, including a new Korean Chicken Burger and Korean BBQ Chicken Flatbread.
Punters can also get their hands on a new Caramelised Biscuit Latte (hot) from £2.75 or an iced verison of the drink from £3.10.
The new menu includes a Red Pepper, Feta & Spinach Bake, which has already been dubbed 'lush' by excited followers on Instagram.
The Mediterranean-style pastry will cost £2.10.

Flight paths shake-up could mean quicker journeys and fewer delays for passengers
The move could even be a boost for 'flying taxis' of the future CHANGE IN THE AIR Flight paths shake-up could mean quicker journeys and fewer delays for passengers Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PASSENGERS could enjoy quicker journeys and fewer delays under the first shake-up of flight paths in 70 years. Ministers have ordered an overhaul of UK airspace to create more direct routes. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up The review could also let planes climb into the sky quicker to reduce the noise for communities below. In the long-term, the government says the redesign would even create the necessary airspace for the 'flying taxis' of the future to operate. Britain's flightpaths have not been changed since the 1950s when there were just 200,000 flights per year, compared with 2.7million in 2024. It has resulted in flight congestion that often forces planes to circle overhead before landing, causing frustration to passengers as well as more emissions. A new UK Airspace Design Service will be up and running by the end of the year, and will first focus on re-carving London's flightpaths in anticipation of a third Heathrow runway. Transport Minister Mike Kane said: 'Redesigned 'skyways' will turbocharge growth in the aviation industry. "Not least by boosting airport expansion plans and supporting job creation, driving millions into the UK economy as part of the Plan for Change. 'Modernising our airspace is also one of the simplest ways to help reduce pollution from flying and will set the industry up for a long-term sustainable future.' Tim Alderslade of Airlines UK added: 'Modernising UK airspace is long overdue. "These changes will help to speed up a programme that will provide tangible reforms, from a reduction in delays, improved resilience and lower carbon emissions.' Travelers have only days before May 23 'flight switch' rule ends – you face long delays if you don't act immediately

Pubs and restaurants are ‘under threat' after Labour's tax hikes — with a third now running at a loss
Landlords are now warning punters that putting up drink prices is the only way they can survive LAST ORDERS Pubs and restaurants are 'under threat' after Labour's tax hikes — with a third now running at a loss Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PUBS and restaurants are being driven into the ground by Labour's tax hikes - with a THIRD now operating at a loss. A damning industry survey reveals the number of boozers at risk of closure has increased 11 per cent in the last three months. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up Landlords are now warning punters that putting up drink prices is the only way they can survive. The average price of a pint has already soared to £5.17 in Britain, and The Sun's Save Our Sups campaign is calling for more support for the countries' embattled locals. In a rare joint intervention, four trade bodies have come together today to warn hospitality is 'under threat' due to April's National Insurance rises and Business Rates whack. They are demanding urgent relief for the pub and restaurant sector which they claim was saddled with £3.4billion extra costs. As well as a third of bosses disclosing they are in the red, their survey also revealed six in 10 have been forced to cut staff to save money. Sounding the alarm are UK Hospitality, the British Beer and Pub Association, the British Institute of Innkeeping and Hospitality Ulster. They said: 'Hospitality is vital to the UK economy but is under threat from ongoing costs rises, which the April increases have only exacerbated. 'Jobs are being lost, livelihoods under threat, communities set to lose precious assets, and consumers are experiencing price rises when wallets are already feeling the pinch.' Meanwhile, a separate report showed private sector activity is at its weakest since 2022. The Confederation of British Industry also blamed Rachel Reeves' £25billion NICs hikes for hurting businesses. Locals Heartbroken as Auchenmalg's Only Pub, The Cock Inn, Closes Down

Ultra-rare pattern on 50p coin means it's sold for an enormous £2,500 – do you own one?
Read on to find out what makes a coin so valuable IN THE COIN Ultra-rare pattern on 50p coin means it's sold for an enormous £2,500 – do you own one? Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A COMMEMORATIVE 50p coin has sold for a whopping £2,500 because of an ultra-rare pattern. Coin hunters should check their collections to see if they have snatched up one of the treasures. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 The Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty The Queen 2022 50p coin Credit: The Royal Mint 3 The ultra rare pattern made this coin more valuable Credit: EBay After a bidding war, the coin was snagged for £2,552 and had five bids in total. The coin was released for the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee in 2022. It was first 50p ever made to mark a royal event. The heads side of the coin features The Queen on horseback, while the tails face shows the number 70, marking how long Her Majesty had been ruling for. The coin's design was personally been given the nod by the Queen. Around 1.3million of the celebratory coins were made available on "limited release". News of the 50p coin was first revealed by the Royal Mint, exciting collectors. Postmaster Umesh Sanghani, who has run Dedworth Green Post Office in Windsor for 23 years with wife Rashmita, said at the time: "We have had many customers coming into our Post Office to check that we are going to get the special 50p coin. "They don't want to miss out on this souvenir." Other versions of the seven-sided 50p coin are among the most collectable and it's the first time a royal event has appeared on the tail side of the coin. Rare 50p coins can often sell for hundreds of pounds and far more than their face value. Their value is based on how many are available and demand, and if collectors are keen to get their hands on one this can push up the price. What makes a coin more valuable? Mintage figures are generally what collectors look at to work out its value. Low mintage makes it rare which often means it is more valuable, but that's not the only thing. Coin website Change Checker looks at how many of the coins have been collected by its members which shows how easy they may be to find (or not), and ranks them regularly. The experts also track the number of times a design has been requested as a swap over the previous three months, showing the current level of collector demand. While these indexes don't necessarily correspond to value, it can be an effective indicator. Coins with errors like a misprint can also be worth more than face value. A rare error on a 5p coin means it sold for £161 - more than 3,000 times its original value.
