Doritos urgently recalls popular crisps due to health risk as it warns 'do not eat'
The recall covers 140g packs with batch code GBC 209 184C after some were mispacked with Tangy Cheese seasoning that contains milk.
- On Friday, July 17, 2026, the Food Standards Agency issued an urgent recall for 140g packs of Doritos Chilli Heatwave after discovering affected bags contain undeclared milk due to mispacking with Tangy Cheese seasoning.
- PepsiCo initiated the recall after discovering some packs were incorrectly filled with Doritos Tangy Cheese Flavour Corn Chips. "Although this product includes precautionary allergen labelling for milk, milk is not included in the ingredients list," the company explained.
- The recall applies to 140g packs with batch code GBC 209 184C and a best before date of December 5, 2026. The FSA warned consumers who have bought the product: "Do not eat."
- Customers should return affected items to the store where they were purchased for a full refund. For additional assistance, consumers can contact the PepsiCo Consumer Care Line on 0800 274777.
- Milk allergies affect two to three percent of young children and remain among the most common food allergies. The FSA issued these notices to ensure consumers with milk intolerances avoid potential health risks.
