Doritos Chilli Heatwave Recall Extended Over Undeclared Milk

PepsiCo has extended its Doritos Chilli Heatwave recall to include 180g packs as well as the original 140g size. Some bags contain the wrong product, which contains milk that is not declared on the label. These details follow the FSA update issued on 18 July.

What’s Affected

• Product: Doritos Chilli Heatwave
• Pack sizes: 140g and 180g
• Batch code: GBC 209 184C
• Best before: 5 December 2026

What You Should Do

If you have a milk allergy or intolerance, do not eat crisps from the affected packs. Return them to the shop for a full refund, or contact PepsiCo’s Consumer Care Line on 0800 274777 for refund help or further information.

What Changed in the Updated Alert

The update added the 180g size to the original 140g recall. Both sizes carry the same listed batch code and best-before date. If you checked your cupboard when the first notice came out and ruled out a larger bag, check it again against the expanded list.

This is a packing issue: some Chilli Heatwave bags may contain a different product with milk. Reading the printed ingredients list on an affected bag cannot resolve that mismatch, because it describes the product the bag was intended to contain.

Check Sharing Bags Individually

Use the size, GBC 209 184C code and 5 December date together. Several bags bought in one transaction can still need separate checks. If you already poured crisps into a bowl for others, keep the packaging available and tell anyone managing a milk allergy or intolerance about the recall. The updated notice is the source to use when asking PepsiCo about a refund or passing the warning to someone else.
