Coca-Cola discontinues Vanilla Zero in UK supermarkets

It seems Coca-Cola Vanilla Zero has begun disappearing from shop shelves and won't be returning for now, The Sun has said.
The fizzy low-calorie drink is flavoured with the sweet and creamy spice of vanilla and was available to buy in 2-litre and 500ml bottles, as well as 330ml cans.
Concerns were raised after someone asked @CocaCola_GB on X: 'Is it true that Coke Zero Vanilla is being discontinued from your range in the UK as supplies are very difficult to find? Signed Coke Zero Vanilla lover!'
Over the last few months, many Coca-Cola Vanilla Zero fans have taken to Reddit to share their worries too, as the drink had become 'so hard to find'.
This person posted in the r/cocacola subreddit: 'Why is Vanilla coke so hard to find in the uk?
'Even tried ordering it from cocacola's own website only for it to be out of stock. I'm aware some are in stock on amazon, but they aren't in the size I want.'
However, one argued this may be because it's 'not produced' in the UK.
Since arriving in the UK in 2002, this isn't the first time the product has been reportedly discontinued over the years, as it has made multiple reappearances.
At the time of writing, a 24 x 330ml pack of Coca-Cola Vanilla Zero is not available to buy at Asda, and Sainsbury's isn't stocking the drink either.
Luckily for those wanting to get their hands on the product, some supermarkets, including Tesco and Morrisons, are still selling 2-litre bottles for £2.15.
This isn't uncommon to see when an item is axed, as shops try to sell remaining stock before it disappears, The Sun explains.
Within the last year, Coca-Cola Vanilla Zero isn't the only flavour to have been axed.
Last year, the company was forced to apologise after confirming two drinks had been dropped from its range.

The soft drink giant revealed Coca-Cola Cherry Vanilla and Diet Coke with Splenda were both discontinued in a decision that came as a result of changing "consumer taste preferences".
Other discontinued Coca-Cola drinks over the years include Caffeine Free Coca-Cola and Coke II (also known as New Coke).
