<\/p>\nPepsiCo has launched an urgent recall of Doritos Chilli Heatwave crisps after discovering that certain packets were mistakenly filled with a different flavour containing milk.<\/p>\n
The Food Standards Agency has warned that the affected products present a potential health hazard for individuals suffering from milk allergies or intolerances.<\/p>\n
The recall comes as British shoppers face a second similar alert within days, with Morrisons also pulling a snack product from shelves over undeclared dairy content.<\/p>\n
Consumers with the affected items are being urged to return them immediately for a full refund rather than risk an allergic reaction.<\/p>\n

The specific recall affects 140g packets of Doritos Chilli Heatwave bearing batch code GBC 209 184C and a best before date of 5 December 2026.<\/p>\n
According to the FSA, these bags may have been incorrectly filled with Tangy Cheese flavoured crisps rather than the Chilli Heatwave variety stated on the packaging.<\/p>\n
The agency stated: “This product contains milk, making it a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents.”<\/p>\n
The problem arises because Tangy Cheese Doritos contain milk as an ingredient, whereas the Chilli Heatwave recipe does not.<\/p>\n
This means the allergen is not declared on the packaging, leaving those with dairy sensitivities unaware of the potential danger lurking inside their crisp packet.<\/p>\n
Morrisons has simultaneously issued its own recall affecting 140g packets of its Maple & Bacon Back of the Net snack.<\/p>\n
The supermarket chain discovered that some packs had been filled with an alternative product containing milk, which was not listed among the ingredients on the outer packaging.<\/p>\n
Shoppers should check for items displaying a best before date of 22 August 2026.<\/p>\n
The retailer has contacted allergy support organisations to spread awareness of the issue and has placed notices throughout its stores to inform customers.<\/p>\n
This represents the second food safety incident to hit British supermarket shelves in a matter of days.<\/p>\n
Allergic reactions to dairy can range considerably in severity, from milder symptoms such as itchy mouth, swollen lips, rashes and nausea through to severe anaphylaxis.<\/p>\n
