Popular UK snack brand Walkers removes milk powder from their Thai sweet chilli crisps

plantbasednews.org Walkers Thai Sweet Chilli Sensations Finally Go Vegan

Walkers has officially removed the milk powder from Thai Sweet Chilli Sensations, meaning they are suitable for vegans

Be advised that some with milk powder are apparently still on store shelves, but these will eventually circulate through and be replaced with vegan ones.

I like to post a lot here about small issues/victories, and this is one of them.

It wears away at the status quo of using milk powder in potato chips.

It gives the dairy industry one fewer outlet to sell their cruel product.

It gives vegans more options, thereby making it an easier choice.
Popular UK snack brand Walkers

Or just "Lays" for the rest of the world
- Walkers and Lay's have substantial overlap both being owned by Frito-Lay, but I've seen no indication so far that the Thai sweet chilli Lay's chips are getting this same treatment. So I didn't want to potentially mislead anyone.
  
  that's fair. I'll check the local supermarket and report back ;)
Great news. Now if we could get other chip makers to take out milk powder from all their “salt and vinegar” chips. It’s in the goddamn name: salt, and vinegar!! Not “salt and vinegar milk”

Sorry, just had to vent about this frustration.
