A pack of crisps sold at UK supermarkets has been recalled by Walkers and shoppers are being warned “do not eat” the affected item.
Walkers is recalling its six-pack of Hot Honey crisps because they could contain a Mild Cheese & Onion seasoning which contains milk and is not correctly labelled.
The company 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.”
The affected batch is the six-pack of 25g bags with a best before date of May 16, 2026 and the batch code GBB 584 031.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has warned the product may contain milk, which makes it a “possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to milk or intolerance to milk or milk constituents.”
It added: “If you have bought the above product and have an allergy to milk do not eat it.
“Instead, please call the Consumer Care Line on 0800 274 777 or visit contact.pepsico.com/walkers to receive a full refund.”
Walkers confirmed that “no other Batch Codes on this Best Before Code are affected”.
Food recalls explained
A PepsiCo spokesperson said: “We are recalling a specific batch of Walkers Hot Honey 6 x 25g multipacks from specific UK retailers and wholesalers.
“Some of the packets may contain Mild Cheese & Onion seasoning rather than Hot Honey, meaning the product is incorrectly labelled and may pose a risk to people with an allergy to milk.
“This applies only to product with the impacted batch code.
“No other Walkers or PepsiCo products are in scope for this recall.
“The quality and safety of our products is of paramount importance to us and we sincerely apologise for the error.
“We are working with the Food Standards Agency, impacted retailers and allergen groups to inform consumers.”
What is an FSA allergy alert?
For those who are not aware of FSA allergy alerts, the government department responsible for protecting public health in relation to food explains what they are.
It says: “Sometimes there will be a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold.

“Then it might be ‘withdrawn’ (taken off the shelves) or ‘recalled’ (when customers are asked to return the product).
“Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.
“When there is a food allergy risk, the FSA will issue an Allergy Alert.”
