Walkers has discontinued a fan "favourite" crisp range for the second time in four years.

Several products have been discontinued by Walkers over the last few years, including:



Walkers discontinues 'the best' crisp range for second time

Walkers has now confirmed its Crinkles crisps range has also been discontinued.

The popular crisp range was first launched in the UK back in 2011, featuring several flavours, including:

  • Simply Sea Salted
  • Cheddar & Onion
  • Salt & Malt Vinegar
  • Sweet Chilli

The Crinkles range was phased out in 2022, before returning to UK stores just two years later (in 2024).

Walkers has now confirmed that Crinkles crisps have been discontinued for a second time.

Production on the range stopped back in February, meaning the crisps will only be available while stocks last.

A Walkers spokesperson, via The Sun, said: “After a great run, Walkers Crinkles will soon be leaving shelves.

“We know some fans may be disappointed, but they can still choose from our line-up of great-tasting crisps, from our new Walkers Baked flavours Slow Roasted Beef and Sun Dried Tomato & Basil to our bold Walkers MAX flavours.

“Evolving our portfolio allows us to focus on making more of the flavours people love the most.”

Fans have described Crinkles crisps as their "favourite" online.

One person, reviewing a Simply Salted multipack on Amazon, said: "This was one of my favourite Walker's Crisp products, which is now no longer available - shame!"

Another fan on eBay commented: "These are my favourite crisps. Salty, crunchy, tasty and go down well with a refreshing beverage in the evening."

While this person posted: "The Best Crisps walkers make.

"Best crisps I have had in a long time. Nice and salty, good size bag. Definitely recommend."
