AG Barr is recalling Rubicon Yuzu & Pink Grapefruit drinks over undeclared sulphites, while PepsiCo recalls Walkers snack boxes for undeclared wheat.
AG Barr is recalling four batches of Rubicon Yuzu & Pink Grapefruit 1-litre cartons over undeclared sulphites. The Food Standards Agency issued an allergy alert on 4 November, warning the product could pose a health risk to people sensitive to sulphur dioxide or sulphites. Customers with either sensitivity should not drink affected cartons and should return them to the shop where they bought them for a full refund.
Separately, PepsiCo is recalling Walkers Variety Snacks Sharing Boxes after wheat was left off the outer packaging. The recall affects boxes sold in England, Scotland and Wales with best-before dates of 21 November 2026 or 16 January 2027. The issue concerns an 85g packet of Monster Munch Giants Roast Beef inside the box, which contains wheat and gluten not declared on the outside of the sharing box, creating a possible risk for people with allergies or coeliac disease.
Notices explaining both recalls and what customers should do will be displayed in retail stores selling the products. The manufacturers have been advised to contact relevant allergy support organisations to alert their members.
