The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued an urgent warning to ASDA customers after a batch of crisps was found to contain milk.

Asda is recalling their ASDA Extra Special Sea Salt & Chardonnay Wine Vinegar Hand Cooked Crisps because they contain milk - which has not been declared on the label.

A packaging error has led to some packets containing Cheese & Onion Crisps. This means they could be a health risk to people with allergies or intolerances to milk or milk constituents.
