WASHINGTON — Peanut residue detected in flour has prompted Frito-Lay and Hostess to recall some of their snack products.
Frito-Lay this week issued a voluntary recall of several varieties of Rold Gold pretzels that can be found in stores and vending machines. The move follows Hostess’s voluntary recall last week of 710,000 cases of snack cakes and doughnuts. The recalled products include Chocodiles, Ding Dongs, Zingers and different flavors of snack doughnuts.
