Allergy Alert

Lay’s Sour Cream & Dill Crisps Recalled Over Undeclared Milk and Wheat

July 31, 2026
FSA-AA-40-2026

Lay’s Sour Cream & Dill Crisps sold at Home Bargains are being recalled by ASR Solutions. The crisps contain milk and wheat, but neither is declared on the affected label. This matters for people with relevant allergies or intolerances and for those with coeliac disease.

What’s Affected

  • Product: Lay’s Sour Cream & Dill Crisps
  • Pack size: 125g
  • Best before: All dates up to and including 31 October 2026

What You Should Do

The FSA advises customers not to eat the affected crisps. Take them back to the shop where they were bought for a full refund. The recall covers all best-before dates up to the listed cutoff, rather than one batch.

Why Both Milk and Wheat Matter

The flavour name may suggest dairy, but it cannot replace an accurate ingredients list. Wheat is also included in this alert, so a shopper checking only for milk could miss a separate reason to avoid the crisps. The FSA identifies risks for milk and wheat allergies or intolerances and for people with coeliac disease.

The notice does not explain why the allergens were omitted. It identifies the products sold at Home Bargains without attributing the error to translation, a recipe change or a particular packing process.

A Date Range Rather Than One Batch

The recall covers the 125g bags with every best-before date up to and including 31 October 2026. There is no single batch code to look for in the notice. Check each bag's date, including any set aside for packed lunches or sharing, and keep its label if you need help from the retailer. If someone else received a bag, pass on the product name, size and date range.

Read the official FSA notice for the recall details and any further updates.
