Popular crisps brand brings back iconic flavour which rivals McCoy's classic
Seabrook's Loaded Tasty Takeouts Burger crisps in the Sizzlin' Steak Burger Flavour will be landing back on Aldi shelves this week.
The flavour was initially released as a limited edition back in April in Aldi's middle aisles.
But after disappearing from shelves for a short time, it's now coming back again on Sunday.
The packs cost £1.25 for 130g.
They are also gluten free and vegan.
Foodies spotted the crisps on shelves back in April, with some saying they were "very nice".
One person commented: "It seems just when Walkers discontinue their range or flavours, Seabrook just bring out more choice."
Popular Instagram reviewer John's Snack Reviews posted a review of the crisps previously, saying they tasted "like a big mac without the gerkin".
He added: "It's got that musky chargrill with hints of beef along with the big mac burger flavour."
At the time, Seabrook also brought out another flavour called Spicy Mexican Taco.
It said both flavours were limited edition so "they won't be around for too long".

The Sizzlin' Steak Burger flavour could be a good dupe for McCoy's iconic Flame Grilled Steak crisps.
You can get a multipack of six of these for £1.74 at Asda or currently £1.75 at Waitrose.
Elsewhere they're £2.35 at Morrisons or Ocado.
Reviewers say the McCoy version is "truly a household favourite" and "so delicious and moreish".
Seabrook recently brought back another iconic flavour that rivalled a Walkers classic.
The crinkle cut Tomato Ketchup crisps are available in Morrisons, where shoppers can pick up packs of six 25g bags for £1.45.
The supermarket launched the limited-edition crisps in stores on May 19.
They are similar to Walkers' Heinz Tomato Ketchup bags, which were confirmed as re-launched in March after being axed in 2023.
Why are products axed or recipes changed?
ANALYSIS by chief consumer reporter James Flanders.
Food and drinks makers have been known to tweak their recipes or axe items altogether.
They often say that this is down to the changing tastes of customers.
There are several reasons why this could be done.
For example, government regulation, like the "sugar tax," forces firms to change their recipes.
Some manufacturers might choose to tweak ingredients to cut costs.
They may opt for a cheaper alternative, especially when costs are rising to keep prices stable.
For example, Tango Cherry disappeared from shelves in 2018.
It has recently returned after six years away but as a sugar-free version.
Fanta removed sweetener from its sugar-free alternative earlier this year.
Suntory tweaked the flavour of its flagship Lucozade Original and Orange energy drinks.
While the amount of sugar in every bottle remains unchanged, the supplier swapped out the sweetener aspartame for sucralose.

Sunlounger Travel launches search for sixth shop after landing £10,000 from Jet2
Once the new shop is open, staff are given free rein to run the business as they see fit. They can also draw on admin support from Kirkbright's separate digital marketing business, Chaos Internet, which is based in March, Cambridgeshire. He said: 'We've got an administration department that will help when they need them – some of our stores really like to make use of it, while some prefer to do everything in house. "Each store runs independently, although we speak to them on a day-to-day basis. We don't want to be micro-managing – they know what they're doing so we let them do what they do best.' Once opened, the shop will be Sunlounger's sixth. Kirkbright has previously said the business could ultimately grow to have as many as 25 shops. He also thanked and Jet2holidays for its financial support, which he said was a sign of the operator's ongoing support for travel agents across the UK.

Hotel tycoon reveals Heathrow runway expansion proposal
Hotel tycoon Surinder Arora has announced he is submitting a Heathrow expansion plan which rivals a proposal from the airport's billionaire's Arora Group said the "primary benefit" of the plan it submitted to the government was a shorter new runway which would avoid the costly and disruptive need to divert the M25 a 2,800-metre third runway instead of the full-length 3,500-metre runway planned by the airport would result in "reduced risk" and avoid "spiralling cost", the company airport declined to comment on the Arora Group's proposal. A shorter runway could have limits on its use, although Arora Group insisted it would be able to accommodate aircraft of all announcement means that for the first time, there will be two bids on the table to build a third runway at Heathrow. Arora Group said its plan, called Heathrow West, could have a new runway fully operational by 2035, while a new terminal would open in two phases, in 2036 and plan, developed with infrastructure company Bechtel, has a cost estimate of under £25 billion, not including the redevelopment of the airport's existing central said in 2018 it could complete its runway for £14 billion, but it is now expected to cost billions June, the government invited competing proposals for Heathrow's expansion and set a deadline of 31 Arora, who is one of the largest landowners at Heathrow, said: "After a decade working with our world-leading design and delivery team, I am very proud that the Arora Group can finally unveil to the UK government our Heathrow West proposal."The Arora Group has a proven track record of delivering on-time and on-budget projects including in and around Heathrow airport."We are delighted that the government has taken a common-sense approach to invite proposals from all interested parties for the very first time rather than granting exclusivity to the current airport operator, no matter its track record."Mr Arora has repeatedly accused the airport of wasting money. Carlton Brown, CEO of Heathrow West, said the new company would be able to dedicate time and focus to the expansion while working with stakeholders including airlines, communities and business."Ultimately, I want to see Heathrow help Britain become the best-connected nation in the world and facilitate the trade and inward investment our UK economy needs," he December 2024, French company Ardian completed a deal to become Heathrow's largest shareholder with a 23% stake, while Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund purchased a 15% Rachel Reeves gave her backing for a third runway in a speech on growth in will submit its own expansion plan to the government on had planned to create a third runway by rerouting the M25 motorway between junctions 14 and 15 through a tunnel under the new runway.

They are currently capped at 480,000 a told the BBC that it would eventually be able to serve up to 140 million passengers a year once a third runway is in operation. Paul McGuinness, chair of the No 3rd Runway Coalition, said they were concerned that thousands of people would have to be rehomed for the plans to move added: "There's a real danger that we'll end up with a hole in the ground and a debt pile for taxpayers to underwrite, because the government had foolishly encouraged Heathrow's profligate self-interest, as if blind to the lessons of HS2."In the past, the cost, the Covid pandemic and legal challenges have all got in the way of any development. A third runway was first proposed in 2009 by Gordon Brown's Labour government but was only finally given the go-ahead by the Supreme Court in 2020. 'Growth is important' The last bid sunk was partly by a legal challenge from five local councils and the Mayor of London. Several members of the current government - including Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer - voted against a Heathrow expansion when in Sir Keir told the BBC that the government has climate commitments, "but growth is really important too".Asked in January this year, when the government announced that it was in favour of a third runway, London's mayor Sir Sadiq Khan refused to rule out joining any future legal challenge to expansion.

Regulators warn firms over car finance compensation claims
Consumers caught up in the motor finance scandal risk losing up to 30 per cent of redress by signing up to paid services they do not need, regulators have warned. In an intervention ahead of a major Supreme Court ruling on Friday, the Solicitors Regulation Authority and Financial Conduct Authority, which have become increasingly concerned, have warned law firms and claims management companies over poor practices in commission claims. The FCA has already required 224 promotions to be amended or withdrawn over the past year and the SRA has 89 investigations into 73 law firms over potential breaches of its rules relating to high-volume claims. • Rachel Reeves may overrule Supreme Court over car finance scandal The prospect of the motor finance industry being forced to pay out tens of billions of pounds in compensation to borrowers has led claims firms to gear up for a bonanza and hit the share price of some London-listed lenders. The FCA will confirm within six weeks of Friday's Supreme Court judgment whether it will propose to introduce a redress scheme for motor finance customers. The judgment follows a review of a landmark ruling in October by the Court of Appeal, which concluded that any type of commission that was not properly disclosed to a borrower was unlawful. The regulators said they expect law firms and claims management companies to inform clients of any redress scheme, or where there is a 'realistic prospect' of one being introduced, which would allow customers to instead pursue a claim independently and free of charge. They must also alert them to charges if they do use a firm and must be clear on exit fees. The regulators are concerned about the 'volume and accuracy' of marketing materials, a failure to advise consumers about free alternatives, and 'inaccurate or misleading' information on the likelihood of success or payouts. Sheree Howard, executive director at the FCA, said: 'We've seen law firms and CMCs [claims management companies] advertising highly speculative figures, so we are warning them of our expectations when it comes to drumming up clients for motor finance commission claims … If we introduce a redress scheme for motor finance, we will aim to make it easy for people to take part.' Paul Philip, chief executive of the SRA, said: 'Where we find cases where firms are not acting in the best interest of their clients, we will investigate and take action.'
