Mercadona remains one of Spain’s most popular supermarket chains. Now, it has confirmed news that has left many of its customers shocked and disappointed.
The company decided to pull one of its best-selling products from the shelves. This decision caused a huge uproar among consumers. In addition, it was the subject of many comments on social networks and in the media.
This is the product that Mercadona has recalled.
Mercadona has decided to remove the Empanada Bolognese from its shelves. Made in Lugo (Galicia), the empanada consists of pork, tomatoes, onions, carrots and eggs.

These delicacies were a surprise novelty for the supermarket at the beginning of the year. However, everything now points to the fact that they will no longer be available in their stores. They have confirmed this themselves.
In response to Consumer X’s question, the chain was strong. They replied, “We’re sorry it’s no longer available, but we’re passing the concern on to the authorities.”
This is why Empanada Bolognese is so popular
The main reason behind this decision is Mercadona’s ongoing search to improve its product offerings. The supermarket chain may be working on a new recipe for empanadas. The goal is to offer a higher quality product and further satisfy its customers.
The exact date for the pie’s return has yet to be determined. In fact, we may not want to see it. However, Mercadona has confirmed that it is taking into account the opinions of customers who want to return.

The news of Mercadona’s empanadas withdrawal has sparked a lot of reactions among consumers. Many have expressed their dismay on social media, expressing their regret at losing one of their favorite products. However, there are also those who have expressed their support for the company’s decision.
Other products that Mercadona has removed from its catalogue
The Bolognese isn’t the only product Mercadona has pulled. The chain has also cancelled its chicken, tomato and mozzarella pizza.
Also, you can’t find the natural, skinless, sieved tomato brik either. In this case, Mercadona has replaced it with crushed tomatoes, which can be found in 400 and 800 gram packs.
