Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Five different flavours of Kettle Chips have been recalled over fears that they may contain pieces of plastic.

Kettle Foods Ltd said in a statement that the affected bags may contain bits of plastic that resemble the crisps themselves.

"As a precautionary measure, we are asking customers not to eat the product and to contact us for a full refund.

"We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank our customers in advance for their cooperation.”

The company have asked customers to send the empty pack to them with their name and address for a full refund including postage.

The address is available on the company’s website.

The flavours affected are Mature Cheddar & Onion 40g, Sea Salt & Balsamic Vinegar 40g, Lightly Salted 30g, Lightly Salted Multipack 5 x 30g and Light Salted 150g (this product is only sold in Asda stores).
