UK convenience chain One Stop<\/em><\/strong> has issued a product recall for one of its branded snacks after it was found to contain an undeclared allergen. The issue affects the Mature Cheddar & Red Onion Hand Cooked Crisps<\/em>, sold in 150g bags<\/strong>, with specific best before dates in February 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The alert was raised due to the presence of milk in the product, which is not stated on the packaging. This omission poses a potential health risk to individuals with a milk <\/strong>allergy or intolerance. The Food Standards Agency (FSA)<\/em> has classified this as a safety concern and has advised consumers not to consume the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allergen Not Declared on Label Triggers Health Warning<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The crisps in question were removed from shelves after routine checks identified that milk<\/strong> was present in the product, despite not being listed among the ingredients. This oversight means that people with a milk allergy could inadvertently consume the product, potentially triggering allergic reactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the FSA<\/em>, the recall <\/a>covers packs with the following best before dates: 17 February 2026<\/strong>, 18 February 2026<\/strong>, and 23 February 2026<\/strong>. Each pack is sold in a 150g size<\/strong>, branded under the One Stop<\/em> label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A notice issued by the retailer reads: \u201cWe are recalling three date codes of One Stop Mature Cheddar & Red Onion Flavour Hand Cooked Crisps 150g as they may contain milk which is not declared on the label. Do not consume. Please return the affected products to store where a full refund will be given. No receipt is required.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FSA<\/em> confirmed that allergy support organisations had been notified and that point-of-sale recall notices were displayed in all stores. One Stop<\/em>, which operates more than 1,000 outlets<\/strong> across the UK, has apologised for the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consumer Advice and Industry Response<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shoppers who purchased the affected product are being asked to return it to any One Stop<\/em> <\/a>location for a full refund<\/strong>, regardless of whether a receipt is available. Customer service can be reached directly via 01543 363 133 for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident adds to a growing list of recent recalls from major UK retailers. According to ChronicleLive<\/em>, Tesco<\/em>, TK Maxx<\/em>, Next<\/em> and Morrisons<\/em> have also issued product recalls in recent weeks for various reasons, ranging from labelling errors to contamination concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recall highlights the ongoing importance of accurate labelling within the food industry, particularly where allergens are concerned. Milk is one of the 14 allergens<\/strong> that must legally be declared on food packaging in the UK. Allergic reactions to milk can vary in severity, but for some individuals they can be life-threatening. The FSA<\/em> advises all consumers with a known allergy to carefully check labels and to stay updated on any recalls announced through its website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
