Home Bargains has issued a Home Bargains crisp recall for 125g packs of Lay's Sour Cream & Dill Crisps after undeclared milk and wheat were found in the product. The Food Standards Agency told customers who bought the crisps not to eat them, and the notice covers best before dates up to and including 31 October.
The warning matters most for people with dairy allergies, gluten intolerance or coeliac disease, because the packaging did not list ingredients that can trigger those conditions. The recall applies only to 125g packs of the sour cream and dill flavour, and no other Lay's varieties, sizes or multipacks are included.
Lay's Sour Cream & Dill Crisps
The Food Standards Agency said: "If you have bought this product, do not eat it,". That instruction gives shoppers a simple first step: check the pack size and date, then keep the crisps out of use.
The recall is narrower than the warning around it. It does not cover other Lay's products, and it does not extend beyond the 125g sour cream and dill packs with the listed date range. For anyone who relies on a label to avoid milk or wheat, that narrow boundary is the detail that decides whether the packet stays in the cupboard or goes back into the recall stream.
The Food Standards Agency
The Food Standards Agency did not confirm whether any consumers had fallen ill. That leaves the recall centered on prevention rather than reported harm, with the regulator acting after undeclared allergens were identified in the snack.
The pattern also fits a broader run of food-safety alerts. Last month, packets labelled as Chilli Heatwave were found to contain Tangy Cheese crisps instead, and on 22 July an urgent recall was announced for Grahams Family Dairy semi-skimmed milk sold at Tesco, Asda and Morrisons. In that case, 1-pint, 1-litre and 2-litre bottles with a use-by date of 31 July were pulled over a small risk that trace levels of antibiotics may be present.

Grahams Family Dairy said in its recall notification: "This is a precautionary measure we have taken as there is a small risk a trace level of antibiotics may be present in the milk which could cause a reaction to consumers with an allergy to antibiotics." It also said no other products or dates were affected, and customers were told to return the milk for a full refund.
For shoppers now holding the recalled crisps, the practical step is direct: do not eat the packet, check whether it is a 125g pack with a best before date up to and including 31 October, and treat it as part of the recall if it is.
