Frito-Lay Issues Voluntary Recall of Five Rold Gold Labeled Products

U.S. – Frito-Lay announced a voluntary recall of five products today as a result of a possible risk to those with peanut allergies FDA officials said. The recall affects select Rold Gold Tiny Twists, Rold Gold Thins, Rold Gold Sticks and Rold Gold Honey Wheat Braided.

The recall is a result of the flour supplier for Frito-Lay having certain lots of flour with undeclared peanut residue. This recall only affects select products that may contain low levels of undeclared peanut residue that were sold in retail stores via foodservice and vending machines throughout the United States. These products have “guaranteed fresh” dates on the front of the package that range from June 28, 2016 – August 23, 2016. Under this date, there is a 9-digit manufacturing code that includes the numbers “32” in the second or third position in the number. Products without the 32 in the second or third position remain unaffected and are not included in the recall.
