Walkers Replaces Salt N Shake’s Blue Sachet With Clear Packet After Shortage as Safety Complaints Grow

PepsiCo also confirms Smiths Tomato Snaps are being discontinued, with remaining stock the last to be made.

Overview

  • Walkers says it cannot currently source the blue salt sachets and has temporarily switched to a clear alternative, pledging to revert when supplies return.
  • Customers on social media say the transparent packet blends in with crisps, raising visibility and potential choking concerns for people with poor eyesight.
  • Some buyers report having to pour crisps into a bowl to find the sachet and are calling for the blue packet to be restored.
  • The affected sachet sits inside Salt N Shake bags and has historically been easy to spot because of its distinctive blue color.
  • Separately, PepsiCo confirms it is discontinuing Smiths Tomato Snaps to focus on bestselling products, with current stock the final batch and fans expressing disappointment.
