Walkers apologises as it recalls popular crisps due allergen fears

  • Walkers has recalled a specific batch of its popular Hot Honey Crisps 6-pack multipacks from UK retailers and wholesalers.
  • The recall is due to some packs potentially containing Mild Cheese and Onion seasoning, which includes milk - posing a health risk to those who are allergic or intolerant.
  • The recall impacts packets with batch code GBB 584 031 and a best before date of May 16, 2026. Walkers said consumers who bought the packets will be refunded.
  • Walkers said: “Although this product includes precautionary allergen labelling for milk, milk is not included in the ingredients list and therefore the product poses a risk to people with an allergy to milk.”
  • PepsiCo, which owns the brand, added: “The quality and safety of our products is of paramount importance to us and we sincerely apologise for the error.”
