Doritos Recalls Tangy Cheese Flavor Due to Undeclared Soy Allergen

February 25, 2024 United Kingdom

Doritos issue urgent recall notice for Tangy Cheese packets bought in Tesco  that may be harmful to anyone with soya allergy

Doritos, a popular snack brand, has issued a voluntary recall of its Doritos Tangy Cheese flavor due to a potential health risk posed to individuals with soy allergies. The recall was prompted by the discovery that soya, an ingredient containing soy, was not declared on the product’s ingredients list. This oversight means that the product could pose a possible health risk for consumers allergic to soy.

The affected products include:

  • Doritos Tangy Cheese 180g pack (exclusively sold at Tesco stores)
  • Doritos Tangy Cheese 5 x 30g multipack (available only from Poundland stores)

Product Details:

  • Pack size: 180g
  • Best before: 01 June 2024
  • Pack size: 5 x 30g (multipacks)
  • Best before: 01 June 2024

The affected product contains soya, making it potentially harmful to individuals with soy allergies. Consumption by individuals with such allergies could lead to adverse health effects.

Action Taken by the Company: Doritos has initiated a recall of the impacted product from store shelves and has advised customers to refrain from consuming it. Additionally, the company is reaching out to relevant allergy support organizations to inform their members about the recall. Doritos has also issued recall notices to its customers, detailing the reason for the recall and providing instructions on what to do if they have purchased the affected product.

Consumers who have purchased Doritos Tangy Cheese with the specified pack sizes and best before dates are urged not to consume them if they have a soy allergy. Instead, they should return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Doritos for further assistance.
