PLANO, Texas -- Frito-Lay has announced a voluntary recall of select Rold Gold Tiny Twists, Rold Gold Thins, Rold Gold Sticks and Rold Gold Honey Wheat Braided pretzels due to a potential undeclared peanut allergen.
This recall is the direct result of a recent recall by a Frito-Lay supplier of certain lots of flour for undeclared peanut residue. The Rold Gold products subject to the recall may have been produced using the recalled flour and, as a result, these Rold Gold products may contain low levels of undeclared peanut residue.
The affected Rold Gold packages are sold in retail stores and via foodservice and vending customers throughout the United States. They and have “guaranteed fresh” dates ranging from June 28, 2016, to Aug. 23, 2016, on the front of the package and specific nine-digit manufacturing codes that include the numbers “32” in the second and third position.
The recall affects the following products:
- Rold Gold Tiny Twists: 1-, 2-, 16- and 20.5-ounce
- Rold Gold Thins: 4- and 16-ounce
- Rold Gold Sticks: 16-ounce
- Rold Gold Honey Wheat Braided: 10-ounce
The Rold Gold Tiny Twists are also included in select multipack offerings with “use by” dates on the front of the package. Directly next to or underneath the “use by” date is a 11-digit manufacturing code that will include the letter combination AM, TO, QH, QC or SW in the second and third position.
The affected products have different, varying “use by” dates, including:
- 20-count Baked & Popped Mix: “Use by” dates ranging from May 31 to July 26, 2016.
