Rubicon and Walkers products recalled over undeclared allergens

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 5 Nov, 09:20 · Archive

AG Barr has recalled Rubicon Yuzu & Pink Grapefruit cartons over undeclared sulphites, and PepsiCo has recalled Walkers Variety Snacks Sharing Boxes over undeclared wheat.

AG Barr is recalling four batches of 1-litre Rubicon Yuzu & Pink Grapefruit cartons over undeclared sulphites. The Food Standards Agency issued the allergy alert on 4 November. The product could pose a health risk to people sensitive to sulphur dioxide or sulphites. Anyone with either sensitivity should not drink affected cartons and should return them to the shop where they bought them for a full refund.

PepsiCo is separately recalling its Walkers Variety Snacks Sharing Box after wheat was left off the outer packaging. The affected boxes have best-before dates of 21 November 2026 or 16 January 2027, and the alert applies to crisps sold in England, Scotland and Wales. The problem 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. The undeclared ingredients create a possible risk for people with allergies or coeliac disease.

Retail stores selling these products will display notices explaining the recalls. AG Barr has been advised to contact relevant allergy support organisations. Customers can contact consumercare@agbarr.co.uk for further information about the Rubicon recall.
