PLANO, TX (WCMH) – Frito Lay is recalling thousands of bags of Rold Gold pretzels because they may contain peanuts not listed on the labels.
Frito-Lay says the problem is due to certain lots of flour it uses to make the pretzels. That flour was possibly contaminated with peanut residue, according to a FDA release.
The affected Rold Gold packages were sold in retail stores nationwide. They have a “guaranteed fresh” dates ranging from June 28, 2016 – August 23, 2016 on the front of the package. They also contain a 9-digit manufacturing code that includes the numbers “32” in the second and third position (example: x32xxxxxx).
