Wal-Mart is so large that it tells its vendors what price it will pay. The vendor then has the choice to lower its prices or to pull its products. Also, Wal-Mart is very strict about logistics and any deviation costs the vendor dearly. Supply chain/production may have caused Maruchan to pull their products from Wal-Mart.

This is exactly how some government's forcing negotiated and capped drug prices has ruined the pharmaceutical market, causing jacked up insulin prices.

Capped drug prices will cause shortages, too.
