AG Barr and PepsiCo Recall Products Over Undeclared Allergens

The Food Standards Agency issued two separate allergy alerts on November 4, 2026, triggering product recalls across England, Scotland, and Wales. The alerts identify health risks for consumers with specific allergies or intolerances to sulphites, wheat, and gluten.

AG Barr is recalling 1-litre cartons of Rubicon Yuzu & Pink Grapefruit Sparkling Water from batch codes 6160, 6198, 6219, and 6257. These products, with best-before dates ranging from June to September 2027, may contain sulphites not listed on the labels. The agency instructed AG Barr to place point-of-sale notices in retail stores and contact allergy support organizations to warn sensitive individuals.

Simultaneously, PepsiCo is recalling 655g Walkers Variety Snacks Sharing Boxes from batch 107543. The recall follows a failure to declare wheat and gluten on the outer packaging, specifically regarding the included Monster Munch Giants Roast Beef packets. This omission poses a risk to individuals with coeliac disease or wheat allergies.

Consumers are urged not to consume the affected beverages or snacks. Both companies are offering full refunds to customers who return the products to the point of purchase or contact the manufacturers directly.
