Mercadona’s product innovations tend to set the pace for its regular shoppers. In the stores’ policy of rolling out new items, the Valencia-based chain frequently introduces products on a rotating basis. Not every location carries every new item, which can frustrate devoted customers who like to call themselves the chain’s bosses. Typically, items debut in certain regions before expanding to others, though enthusiastic buyers often wish the full assortment appeared everywhere at once.
For those who haven’t spotted them yet in their local Mercadona, here are six recent launches highlighted by a popular Instagram feed. Mercadona News, an unofficial account, shared these updates for reference.
Five returning items that you can no longer find on Mercadona
There’s a sense of anticipation whenever familiar favorites reappear or vanish from store shelves. Mercadona’s fans often discuss which products have disappeared and which have come back, sometimes sparking lively debates in social media and store aisles alike. The latest chatter centers on items from classic snack lines, seasonal flavors, and limited-time offers that have disappeared from several locations, prompting many shoppers to search for them in other towns or order them through alternate channels. The feeling is less about loss and more about nostalgia for the items people grew to love over time, and the hope that some may return again in the future.
What’s New in Mercadona
Following the success of a Kinder Bueno flavored hazelnut nougat during the Christmas season, the Valencia retailer chose to experiment by turning that flavor into a yogurt. Today, shoppers can find a Greek-style yogurt infused with cocoa and hazelnut. A six-pack is priced at about 1.60 euros, presenting a convenient option for breakfast tables and snack enthusiasts alike.
In dairy, Mercadona introduced a lactose-free chocolate milkshake. The packaging boasts 0% fat and 0% added sugar, catering to both lactose-intolerant customers and those seeking a lighter indulgence. Each container holds 200 ml, and a six-pack is available for around 1.75 euros, appealing to families and single shoppers alike looking for a versatile dairy treat.
There is also a 100% plant-based beverage option for oat lovers. The oat drink is made from water and oats, with the label highlighting low saturated fat, no added sugars, and very low salt. The container holds 250 ml and is competitively priced at roughly 1.45 euros, offering a convenient dairy-free alternative for daily use.
In the snacks category, a new multigrain fry is on shelves. The cream-pepper flavored bite comes in a 100-gram bag and is priced at about one euro, designed for quick, tasty snacking on the go or alongside a casual meal.

Among the sweet highlights is a lemon-flavored paste known as lizards. The half-kilogram bag is offered at roughly 1.45 euros, with online chatter noting that many find it a guilty pleasure. The packaging and social buzz reflect Mercadona’s ongoing strategy to introduce bold, shareable treats that spark conversations among fans and newcomers alike.
For those who have already enjoyed the crunchy peanut butter, a new chunky variant has arrived. This spread contains a single ingredient—peanuts—and comes in a 500-gram jar priced around 3 euros. Its minimal ingredient list and classic flavor profile make it a versatile staple for sandwiches, baking, and snack-time indulgence.
