Anyone else having trouble finding ground almonds?
Comments

No, but I couldn't find any ground rice this weekend to make tarts.0

I always get them from Lidls, quite reasonably priced too,0
-
Lidls only had sliced almonds on Wednesday when I looked.
Looking at the Holland and Barrett website, they have them in stock, but they're even more expensive than the Waitrose ones.0 -
Aldi do them as well.I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.0

There was a story that recent Californian harvests are being affected by the bee shortage/disease and that a large proportion of the world's supply is provided there.
Might want to grab some if you find them. (Still plenty in Lidl.)0 -
Hi, Yes I 've not found any in Tescos, Sainsbury, Coop or Aldi near me. I was told by the Coop there has been a recall on their make due to peanut contamination. Found this information which may explain.

Thanks for that info Alye16, that explains why I've not found them. I guess Whitworths make the Tesco and Sainsbury own brand ones.0

They must make Asda's own brand too because they were also recalled.
I use ground almonds a lot in my gluten free baking so its a pain not being able to get hold of any. Been making my own but have to be careful otherwise I end up with almond butter.
Wonder when they will start to reappear in the shops?0 -
I hope they're back soon as I need some for my xmas cake. I had another look in Lidl yesterday, but although there was a SEL for ground almonds, they had none in stock. I guess they're getting snapped up as soon as they're out on the shelves.0

There's an availability problem created by poor harvests and an emergency recall but there were some delivered on Monday so I think supply will be getting back to normal.0
