PepsiCo’s Walkers Snack Foods Limited dropped one of the Wotsits flavors that many customers have come to love. The company is discontinuing the sizzling steak variant that just made its comeback recently in the United Kingdom.
Walkers brought back its Wotsits sizzling steak flavor corn puffs in 2020 after a 20-year hiatus. However, it appears that it decided to retire the flavor for good and is now quietly pulling it out from the market.
Fans React to the Wotsits Beefy Puff’s Discontinuation
Following the reports of Walkers’ move to drop the sizzling steak flavor of its Wotsits snack line, fans were outraged. They aired their disappointment on social media after the “surprising” news.
According to BNN Network, many people did not expect the decision to axe the said snack especially because the reviews on the product have been very positive. As fans were surprised by the action, they called on the company to clarify the reports and in response, Walkers responded by telling heartbroken fans, “We are sorry but sizzling steak Wotsits are no longer part of our range.”
Possible Reason for the Product Pullout
Mirror UK reported that it appears the popularity of Walkers Wotsits’ sizzling steak flavor was not enough to keep the product on the shelves of convenience and grocery stores in the U.K.
In fact, the food manufacturing company still chose to stop its production despite a huge following.
With that said, it seems that the removal of the mentioned Walkers Wotsits flavor was made as part of the company’s product line management. The company may have come to the conclusion after carrying out a regular evaluation and implementing some changes to its snack offerings. In short, the results of the assessments may have likely prompted the management to get rid of the beef flavor from the range.
