Eight of the 45 product pages in the sitemap are sold out, and seven of them carry 4,200 reviews: Butternut Squash Soup (1,008), Tomato Soup (806), Broccoli Cheddar Keto Soup (799), Coconut Curry & Lime (626), Mushroom Bisque (614), Chicken Noodle (298) and the 6-pack Beef Cooking Broth (49). Those reviews make the pages rank, so shoppers searching for a bone broth soup land on a "Sold Out" button with subscription prices and no replacement. The Butternut Squash page is the sharpest case: the indexed page is sold out at $8.49, while a hidden, noindexed listing of the same soup with the same 1,008 reviews shows as available at $6.49.

Why it works
For each page, decide: back in stock, replaced or retired. Replaced: add a block at the top ("Coconut Curry & Lime is now Thai Coconut Curry Chicken Bone Broth") with an Add to cart button, or 301 the URL to the replacement so its reviews and links carry over. Coming back: add a "notify me" signup and hide the subscription widget. Butternut Squash: if the $6.49 listing is real stock, make the indexed page the live one and noindex the duplicate. Then remove sold-out bundles from collections and search.
Pages with hundreds of reviews are the store's best search assets. Pointing them at in-stock broths recovers sales that now bounce, and stops AI shopping assistants (the store publishes agents.md) recommending products that cannot be bought.
