The Food Standard Agency has issued a notice saying that One Stop has recalled One Stop Mature Cheddar & Red Onion Hand Cooked Crisps, due to undeclared milk.
This is a health and safety issue as anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk could consume the product, and suffer a reaction.
The recall affects 150g bags of the crisps, with best before dates of February 17, February 18 and February 23, 2026.
One Stop has contacted relevant allergy support organisations, and has urged them to tell their members not to consume the product, due to the hidden risk.
Customers who return the product to stores will get a full refund, without needing to have a receipt.
Sometimes retailers recall products after discovering a risk to consumers, such as incorrect labelling or faulty parts.
It is best to keep an eye out for recall notices, to find out whether anything you have purchased poses any risks.
More product recalls
This comes as B&M urgently recalled a popular autumn accessory.
The discount retailer recalled its Harvest Print Glass Mug over fears the product shatters when hot water is poured into it.
Shoppers who purchased the item have been advised to keep the packaging and return it to their nearest store.
Three major supermarkets also recently pulled £2.49 packets of sausages from shelves due to dangerous health risks.
Anyone who purchased a packet of The Jolly Hog’s Leek Porkers 6 British Sausages with a use by date of September 28, 2025 is affected by the recall.
The Food Standards Agency said that the 400g packet contains milk “making it a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents”.
The recall affects Sainsbury’s, Waitrose and Morrisons only.
Your product recall rights
Chief consumer reporter James Flanders reveals all you need to know.
Product recalls are an important means of protecting consumers from dangerous goods.
As a general rule, if a recall involves a branded product, the manufacturer would usually have lead responsibility for the recall action.
But it’s often left up to supermarkets to notify customers when products could put them at risk.
If you are concerned about the safety of a product you own, always check the manufacturer’s website to see if a safety notice has been issued.
When it comes to appliances, rather than just food items, the onus is usually on you – the customer – to register the appliance with the manufacturer as if you don’t there is no way of contacting you to tell you about a fault.
If you become aware that an item you own has been recalled or has any safety noticed issued against it, make sure you follow the instructions given to you by the manufacturer.
They should usually provide you with more information and a contact number on its safety notice.
In some cases, the manufacturer might ask you to return the item for a full refund or arrange for the faulty product to be collected.
You should not be charged for any recall work – such as a repair, replacement or collection of the recalled item
And a pasta ready meal has been pulled from supermarket shelves, over deadly contamination.
Farmfoods has sent out an allergy allert for its 350g Chicken and Spinach Pasta due to the “possible health risk” the product could be presenting for customers.
The pasta is described as a fussili with “creamy spinach, peppers and roasted chicken” that can be cooked in the microwave from frozen.
It has been found to contain undeclared crustaceans, fish and molluscs which has not been mentioned on its label.
The pasta is therefore a health risk for anyone with an allergy to crustaceans, fish and molluscs.
Whilst recalling the product from shelves “as a precautionary measure”, Farmfoods has also been advised to contact the relevant allergy support organisations that can inform members about the recall.
