Rold Gold Pretzels recalled after nut residue left off label

Several snack brands have been pulled from shelves, after an allergen was apparently left off of the ingredient list.

Giant Food says Frito Lay Rold Gold pretzel products that may contain peanut residue, which is not included in the ingredient list. Officials say the products are safe to eat for those who don’t have a peanut allergy, but those with severe peanut allergies are being advised to avoid the recalled products because of peanut residue in these products. The amount of peanut exposure from use of the recalled products is low, according to Giant, and not expected to cause adverse health effects in the vast majority of peanut allergic consumers.
