Shoppers warned as popular crisps and soft drinks pulled from supermarket shelves

The UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued allergy alerts after two drinks-and-snack products were recalled from supermarket shelves. AG Barr is recalling 1L cartons of Rubicon Yuzu & Pink Grapefruit because they may contain sulphites not listed on the label. Four batch codes are affected—6160 (best before June 2027), 6198 (July 2027), 6219 (August 2027) and 6257 (September 2027). People with sensitivities to sulphur dioxide or sulphites are advised not to consume the product and to return it for a full refund or contact AG Barr consumer care. Separately, PepsiCo is recalling a 655g Walkers Variety Snacks Sharing Box because wheat is not declared on the outer packaging. The issue concerns an 85g pack of Monster Munch Giants Roast Beef (batch 107543) with best-before dates of 21 November 2026 or 16 January 2027; it contains wheat and gluten. The FSA warns customers with wheat/gluten allergies or coeliac disease not to eat the affected box.
