Frito-Lay announced a voluntary recall of select Rold Gold pretzels – a snack brand that’s popular among families with nut allergies due to its usually allergy-free production process – due to a potential “undeclared peanut allergen”.
The affected Rold Gold packages were sold in stores throughout the USA and have Guaranteed Fresh dates ranging from June 28th to August 23rd of this year on the front of the packages.
An undeclared peanut allergy is the culprit behind a recall of several Rold Gold pretzel products this week. The recalled products include Ding Dongs, Zingers and different flavors of snack doughnuts. More information on the product codes of the impacted packages can be found here. The company issued a recall after spotting peanut residue in some wheat flour. The flour in question is from one mill in Georgia and was grown in the South, where peanuts are also produced, according to the company.
According to the FDA, Grain Craft first contacted the administration on April 26 stating that peanut residue had been detected in cookies. A list of other products recalled over the flour can be found on the FDA’s website. Peanut residue in the mixture could affect people with food allergies. As per the FDA, in the U.S. almost 2% of adults and 5% of children have food allergies.
