General Mills has pulled three Cheerios flavors from its lineup, the company confirmed this week.

"The Honey Nut Cheerios Medley Crunch Cereal and Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios Cereal have been discontinued and are no longer available," a representative for General Mills told ABC News in an emailed statement.

The decision, according to the company, "could be for a variety of reasons, ranging from insufficient consumer demand to ingredients no longer available or other supply chain constraints, whereby it's just no longer feasible for us to offer the product with the high quality and competitive pricing that consumers know and expect."
