Lay’s Sour Cream & Dill Crisps 125g
- Affected
- All dates up to and including 31 October 2026
What to do now
The label on Lay's Sour Cream & Dill Crisps does not tell people about the milk and gluten it contains. For everyone else the product is safe to eat; for people with an allergy to milk and gluten, it is not.
- If you are allergic to or intolerant of milk and gluten, do not eat it.
- Make sure children, carers and anyone you shop for know not to eat it.
- Take it back to the shop where you bought it and ask for a refund.
- Only the packs listed below are affected, so check your pack before throwing it away.
Why it matters. Milk allergy is one of the most common food allergies in children. People who avoid milk because of lactose intolerance may also react, though usually less severely.
Symptoms and when to get help
Look out for
- an itchy, tingling mouth
- a raised itchy rash (hives)
- swelling of the lips, face or eyes
- stomach pain or being sick
Get help urgently
- swelling of the tongue or throat, difficulty breathing or swallowing, wheezing, feeling faint, or collapse — use an adrenaline auto-injector if you have one and call 999, saying it is anaphylaxis
This is general information based on NHS public guidance, not medical advice. In an emergency call 999. For urgent advice use NHS 111 (NHS 24 on 111 in Scotland) or, in Northern Ireland, your GP or out-of-hours service.

Questions
Why has Lay's Sour Cream & Dill Crisps been recalled?
The label on Lay's Sour Cream & Dill Crisps does not tell people about the milk and gluten it contains. For everyone else the product is safe to eat; for people with an allergy to milk and gluten, it is not. Milk allergy is one of the most common food allergies in children. People who avoid milk because of lactose intolerance may also react, though usually less severely.
How do I know if my product is affected?
The notice describes the affected product rather than listing codes. Compare the product name, pack size and where you bought it with the official notice.
What should I do now?
If you are allergic to or intolerant of milk and gluten, do not eat it. Make sure children, carers and anyone you shop for know not to eat it.
Can I get a refund?
The quickest route is to take the pack, or a photo of its label, back to the shop. Most retailers refund recalled products without proof of purchase. If a shop refuses, the Citizens Advice consumer helpline (0808 223 1133), Advice Direct Scotland (0808 164 6000) or Consumerline in Northern Ireland (0300 123 6262) can tell you what to do next.
Is it safe for people without this allergy?
Yes. An allergy alert means the label is wrong for people who must avoid milk and gluten. If nobody in your home is allergic to or intolerant of milk and gluten, the product is not otherwise unsafe, although you can still return it.
