Giant recalls Snack Factory Pretzel Crisps for allergen concerns
A local grocery chain says that it has pulled a pretzel snack from sale, after they were recalled by its manufacturer for possible allergen concerns.
Giant Foods says they have removed some Snack Factory products from their shelves, because they could contain milk, an allergen that is not listed on the ingredient label.
The following products are included in this recall:
- Snack Factory Original Pretzel Crisps, 7.2 oz, UPC code 049508006008 with Best By Date 07-01-2017
- Snack Factory Sriracha Lime Pretzel Crisps, 7.2 oz, UPC code 049508006060 with Best By Date 07-01-2017
The products are still reportedly safe to consume for individuals who do not suffer from a milk allergy.
Giant says they haven’t received any reports of illness at this time. Officials say that people who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk may run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
Symptoms of food allergies typically appear from within a few minutes to two hours after a person has eaten the food to which he or she is allergic. Allergic reactions can include: hives; flushed skin or rash; tingling or itchy sensation in the mouth; face, tongue, or lip swelling; vomiting and/or diarrhea; abdominal cramps; coughing or wheezing; dizziness and/or lightheadedness; swelling of the throat and vocal cords; difficulty breathing; loss of consciousness.
Those who have purchased the snack products listed above, should throw away any unused portions, and bring their purchase receipt to Giant for a full refund.
