Walkers Temporarily Swaps ‘Salt & Shake’ Blue Sachets for Clear Ones After Sourcing Snag

Customers report the new packets are hard to spot, with one citing a health risk after an accidental mouthful of salt.

Overview

  • Walkers said on X that it cannot currently source the traditional blue sachets and has introduced a temporary alternative, pledging to revert when possible.
  • Recent complaints on X and retailer sites describe the clear sachets as difficult to find inside ‘Salt & Shake’ bags.
  • A Tesco reviewer who is a kidney transplant recipient reported getting a mouthful of salt after failing to locate the sachet.
  • The company has not provided a timetable for restoring the blue packets.
  • The separate salt bag is a long‑standing feature of the product in the UK, which helps explain the strong reaction to the change.
