Tesco is recalling its mince pie flavoured crisps

Tesco has announced it's recalling its mince pie flavoured crisps after an issue with allergy printing.

The Walkers festive-flavoured snack could pose a risk to people with a milk allergy which has led to its recall.

This is because the packet fails to list milk as an ingredient which could pose a risk to people who are lactose intolerant.

Posting on Twitter, the supermarket giant said: "PepsiCo is recalling their Walkers mince pie flavour crisps 5x25g multipack.

"This is because milk isn’t declared in the ingredients list, which means it’s a potential risk to people with a milk allergy."

Tesco has also stated that no other Walker product has been affected by the erroneous printing.

The Food Standards Agency said: "PepsiCo is recalling the above product from customers and has contacted the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall.

“The company has also issued a point-of-sale notice to its customers.

“These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.”

If you've bought a packet of Walkers Mince Pie crisps and have an allergy to milk or lactose intolerance don't risk eating the crisps.

You can call PepsiCo on 0800 274 777 to receive a full refund for your purchase.

Otherwise, you can return the product to any Tesco store where a full refund will be given - no receipt is required to show proof of purchase.
