Peanut residue detected in flour has prompted Frito-Lay and Hostess to recall some of their snack products.
Frito-Lay this week聽issued a voluntary recall聽of several varieties of Rold Gold聽pretzels聽that can be found in stores and vending machines.
The FDA's notice on the Frito Lay recall is below:聽
PLANO, Texas 鈥 Frito-Lay today announced a voluntary recall of select Rold Gold Tiny Twists, Rold Gold Thins, Rold Gold Sticks and Rold Gold Honey Wheat Braided 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. More information about the flour recall can be found on the FDA鈥檚 website at:.
The affected Rold Gold packages are sold in retail stores and via foodservice and vending customers throughout the United States, and have 鈥済uaranteed fresh鈥 dates ranging from June 28, 2016 - August 23, 2016 on the front of the package. Directly underneath the 鈥済uaranteed fresh鈥 date is a 9-digit manufacturing code that includes the numbers 鈥32鈥 in the second and third position (example: x32xxxxxx).
The following products with the above-described 鈥済uaranteed fresh鈥 dates and manufacturing codes are impacted:
- Rold Gold Tiny Twists - 1 oz. , 2 oz., 16 oz. and 20陆 oz.
- Rold Gold Thins - 4 oz. and 16 oz.
- Rold Gold Sticks - 16 oz.
- Rold Gold Honey Wheat Braided - 10 oz.
It is important to note that products that do not include 32 in the second and third positions of the manufacturing code are not impacted.
The Rold Gold Tiny Twists are also included in select multipack offerings. The impacted multipacks have 鈥渦se by鈥 dates on the front of the package. Directly next to or underneath the 鈥渦se by鈥 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 (example: xAMxxxxxxxx). The impacted products have different, varying 鈥渦se by鈥 dates, including:

The move follows Hostess's聽voluntary recall last week聽of 710,000 cases of snack cakes and doughnuts. The recalled products include Ding Dongs, Zingers and different flavors of snack doughnuts.
The companies cite supplier Grain Craft's recall of a certain type of flour that included peanut residue. The Food and Drug Administration says Grain Craft only sells to other companies and not to consumers. A list of other products recalled over the flour can be found on the聽听.
