Prime Pantry closed on Wednesday, but customers can still order food and household items through Amazon's main page.
The program was launched in 2014 and was initially offered to members of the Prime free shipping program. But in 2018, Amazon added a $5 monthly subscription fee.
Since launching the program in 2014 Amazon has expanded into the household goods market, with programs like Amazon Fresh for groceries and with the company's acquisition of Whole Foods Market.
