Walkers Thai Sweet Chilli Sensations Finally Go Vegan

Walkers has made a significant change to its Thai Sweet Chilli Sensations crisps by removing milk powder from the recipe, making them now suitable for vegans. Vegans have long criticized the inclusion of milk powder in various snacks, including the popular Thai Sweet Chilli flavor. Despite the change, it is important for consumers to check the ingredients list, as some supermarkets may still be selling old stock with milk as an ingredient.

While the new Thai Sweet Chilli Sensations are not certified as vegan due to the label stating they “may contain milk,” this typically refers to a risk of cross-contamination rather than the presence of actual animal-derived ingredients. Many vegans still consider such products acceptable as long as there are no animal-based ingredients listed in the primary ingredients. Customers are advised to check the label and purchase from stockists such as Ocado, Sainsbury’s, and Waitrose, where the crisps are confirmed to be vegan-friendly.
