Ok. My source in TJ corporate says none of these have been discontinued. Was pretty upset to hear that employees/managers are telling consumers that.
Simply supply chain/ transportation issues.

I actually found some of the discontinued items at better stocked) larger TJ stores in my area. That's what prompted me to follow up. Hey, my contact could very well be wrong.
It wouldn't be the first time I received conflicting info from the same company

Can you ask them why they have so many OU-D products, but none Cholov Yisroel? It seems like they are trying, but making so many of their products dairy without being CY is just so close, but no fish.

Good luck. There’s a much bigger market/awareness for Kosher products than for CY products, like orders of magnitude bigger.

Truth is, although CY is isn't likely to become widespread (there is an OK-D product which is CY-see below), pareve/vegan and all vegan facilities are becoming more popular

Yeah, the issue I have is that most of the products that are OU-D
in TJ can really be totally pareve.

If not for the chocolate chip fiasco @CS1 wouldn't be in business

New business idea: Trader Yosef, sourcing and distributing all  acceptably Kosher TJ merchandise where Hashgacha is degraded or product is discontinued.

The Wegmans chocolate chips work, it's the best substitute I use now, but nothing can compare to the good old TJ chips
