Production is ‘at a reduced scale’ because of system upgrade disruption
British shoppers may face shortages of some of their favourite crisps until the end of the month after a botched computer upgrade disrupted the world’s biggest crisp factory.
Walkers has been forced to prioritise its most popular varieties – including cheese and onion, ready salted and salt and vinegar as well as Quavers and Wotsits – after the glitch forced it to slow production. A spokesperson said “more niche” varieties had been slowed.
