What to do now

The label on Sour Cream and Onion Flavour Chips does not tell people about the milk it contains. For everyone else the product is safe to eat; for people with an allergy to milk, it is not.

  1. If you are allergic to or intolerant of milk, do not eat it.
  2. Make sure children, carers and anyone you shop for know not to eat it.
  3. Take it back to the shop where you bought it and ask for a refund.
  4. 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.

Getting your money back

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.
