Walkers has recalled a popular snack from supermarkets after discovering that some packaging failed to declare an allergen.

The recall affects the Walkers Variety Snacks Sharing Box, after packs of Monster Munch Giants Roast Beef were found to have wheat (gluten) missing from the outer packaging.

PepsiCo, which owns Walkers, said the individual bags inside the box are correctly labelled, but the sharing box itself does not list the allergen.

Customers with an allergy or intolerance to wheat or gluten, or coeliac disease, have been warned not to eat the affected product.

The recall applies to products with batch code 107543 and either of the best-before dates of November 21, 2026 or January 16, 2027.

Anyone who has bought an affected box should not consume it. Customers can contact Walkers’ customer support by email for a full refund, or call the PepsiCo Consumer Care Line for more information.

Walkers has also contacted allergy support organisations so they can alert their members.

Anyone who has eaten the product and develops signs of an allergic reaction, including hives or difficulty breathing, should seek medical help immediately.

The recall affects England, Scotland and Wales.
