So are Walkers Crisps Halal? Response from Walkers direct
Hi, Thank you for getting in touch.
I would like to apologise for any confusion caused by the recent message you have seen regarding Walkers Max Paprika flavour crisps.
I can confirm that, as stated on the back of packs, Walkers Max Paprika flavour is suitable for a vegetarian diet. I would, however, like to make you aware that our new Walkers Stax Paprika flavour are not suitable for a vegetarian diet.
I hope this helps, please feel free to call our team on 0800 274777 if you have any further questions at all. Have a lovely day!
Some history on the brand: In 1948, a local butcher named Henry Walker began to sell hand-sliced potato crisps to the lucky people of Leicester. Several million spuds later, Walkers became a pioneer in the world of flavoured crisps, introducing original combinations inspired by Britain’s favourite foods.
The Walkers factory in Leicester produces over 11 million bags of crisps per day, using about 800 tons of potatoes. According to the BBC television programme Inside the Factory, production of a bag of crisps takes approximately 35 minutes from the moment the raw potatoes are delivered to the factory, to the point at which finished product leaves the dispatch bay for delivery to customers. The company produces a variety of flavours for its crisps. The three main varieties are: Cheese and Onion (introduced in 1954), Salt and Vinegar (introduced in 1967) and Ready Salted. Other varieties include: Worcestershire Sauce, Roast Chicken, Prawn Cocktail, Smoky Bacon, Tomato Ketchup, and Pickled Onion.
We will continue to investigate all the different flavours that come out so do keep an eye out on our website on Walkers Crisps Halal?
