New Cheese Analysis- April 2008
A new set of analyses has been done by the Leatherhead Food International Company at their main site in Leatherhead. This type of analysis has moved from their Wells site where previous work was done.
We have analysed samples of all the cheese which were previously allowed (block Emmental, gruyere, jarlsberg, parmesan, mature country farmhouse cheddar) and these cheese have all come back as undetectable lactose content ie still suitable, and compatible with previous analyses.
We have also analysed several samples of Babybel cheese and Babybel Emmental cheese. These cheeses do contain lactose in several of the samples and therefore Babybel cheese and Babybel Emmental cheese are not suitable.
Publication
Anita MacDonald and I have submitted a paper on the cheese analysis we have done (not this new one) and once that is published we can put the data on the website, and reference the paper.

Allergy Alert From Allergy UK - 29th August 2006
Walkers Squares ‘n’ Salt & Vinegar flavour Walkers
Potato Heads ‘n’ Cheese & Onion flavour
As part of Walkers salt reduction programme, Walkers have recently altered the flavouring for Salt & Vinegar
flavour Squares and Cheese & Onion flavour Potato Heads. This alteration
means that these products now contain whey powder versus lactose previously.
Unfortunately, it has been brought to Walkers’ attention, that through the
change period, a small number of packs may have continued to declare lactose
rather than whey powder. As a precaution, the products with the following best
before dates are now no longer suitable for a milk free diet.
Walkers have
asked that you check your packets for the Best Before codes below:
Salt & Vinegar flavour Squares with Best Before date 16.09.06 onwards
Cheese & Onion Potato Heads with Best Before date 11.11.06 onwards
Walkers have
immediately rectified this error. However, if the codes on your pack do match
these Best Before dates, and you are therefore unable to enjoy this product
because you are allergic to milk protein, please return your packets to:
Consumer Care Team, Walkers Snack Foods Limited Freepost MID21030 Leicester LE4 5ZY.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you. If you have any
queries and would like to talk to one of our Consumer Care Team, please call
us on Freephone 0800 274777.
Note from Allergy UK: Allergy UK would like to
thank the Walkers Snack Foods Limited for their responsible and caring support
by meeting all our mailing costs.
If you have any concerns about the above
products please contact our Helpline on 01322 619898
