• Ronzoni is discontinuing its popular tiny star-shaped pastina pasta this month. 
• The company said it was due to a supplier issue and it was “unable to identify a viable option.”
• Fans are mourning the loss of the pasta on social media and starting petitions to revive it.  

Ronzoni is saying arrivederci to one of its most beloved pastas — the tiny star-shaped pastina.

The brand announced plans to discontinue the pasta this month in an Instagram post shared Tuesday, writing the “difficult decision” was the result of an issue with its supplier and came “after extensive efforts” to prevent having to ditch the product.
