PepsiCo has issued a recall for its Walkers Mince Pies flavour crisps because of undeclared milk.

The allergy alert warns that the product contains milk which is not mentioned on the label, making it a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents.

Although the product includes a precautionary allergen labelling for milk, it is not declared in the ingredients list.

The 5 x 25g multipacks of all best before date codes are affected.

Customers who have bought the product, and have an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents, are requested to not eat it. They can call the PepsiCo customer care line on 0800 274777 to receive a full refund.

The product is safe for those without an allergy to milk or an intolerance to lactose.

PepsiCo has also contacted the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall.

Shareholders in food and drink giants such as PepsiCo, Coca-Cola and Mondelez are among a group of investors calling on the sector to be more transparent about the healthiness of its sales as a first step towards taking accountability for its significant impact on public health, in a move coordinated by responsible investment NGO ShareAction, the NGO stated.

The investors include Legal & General Investment Management, Pictet Asset Management, Nest, and CCLA, who collectively manage £2.34trn in assets. In a letter delivered today (21) to the chief executives of PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, Mondelēz, Kraft Heinz, Kellanova, and General Mills, investors have called on the companies to follow the likes of Unilever and Danone in adopting internationally-accepted nutrition standards for publicly reporting the healthiness of their sales.
