Not in my Aldi. Price shown is very competitive compared to other sources in the town, Chia is not suitable for anyone taking a bloodthinner such as Warfarin or Clopidogrel or Aspirin, or if anemic or having an ulcer. Apparently Chia promotes bleeding

Dry Chia seeds can also cause Dysphagia according to some reports. Best to presoak them.

Just has a chat with the manager at my local Aldi. It seems that the Chia Seeds are on Special Offer, and as such are a one off purchase. When its gone , its gone. There does not seem to be any plans to make it a regular line item.

Bother, I stocked up fairly recently (Home Bargains are my best local stockist) but may well toddle along to my nearest Aldi to check if there are any left.

I see from the link you originally posted that the prducts are showing up in the <<In Store>> section, not the << special offers>> section, so the manager may be talking off the cuff, as it were
