PepsiCo is recalling certain packs of Doritos Chilli Heatwave after some products are found to contain the Tangy Cheese flavouring, which includes milk. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) says the affected 140g bags may present a “possible health risk” for people with a milk allergy or intolerance because the packaging for Chilli Heatwave does not include milk on the ingredients list. The FSA identifies the specific product as 140g packs with batch code GBC 209 184C and a best before date of 5 December 2026, which possibly contain the wrong ingredient. The company is instructing customers to return the affected bags for a full refund. Allergy information provided alongside the recall notes that milk reactions can range from mild to severe, with severe cases potentially including anaphylaxis symptoms. The FSA also states PepsiCo has issued point-of-sale notices explaining the reason for the recall and advising consumers on what to do, and that the company has been advised to contact relevant allergy support organizations to inform members.
