Walkers Crisps Pulled for Undeclared Milk
15 Mar
Summary
- Walkers Hot Honey crisps recalled due to undeclared milk.
- Affected packets contain milk seasoning, a risk for allergy sufferers.
- Consumers advised to return crisps for a full refund immediately.
Major crisp producer Walkers has initiated a product recall for its Hot Honey Crisps 6 packs. This action was prompted by the discovery that some packets may inadvertently contain Mild Cheese and Onion seasoning, which includes milk. The presence of milk is not declared on the packaging, presenting a significant risk to consumers with milk allergies or intolerances.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has alerted the public, urging customers to return the affected crisps for a refund. The specific product in question is the Walkers Hot Honey Crisps 6 pack, 6 x 25g, with batch code GBB 584 031 and a best before date of May 16, 2026.
Walkers is actively contacting relevant allergy support organizations to inform their members about the recall. Point-of-sale notices have been issued to retailers to explain the situation. Consumers who have purchased the affected crisps and have a milk allergy are instructed not to consume them.
Instead, affected customers can receive a full refund by contacting Walkers' Consumer Care Line at 0800 274 777 or by visiting contact.pepsico.com/walkers. The FSA uses such recalls when there is a risk to consumers due to incorrect or missing allergy labeling.
