Frito-Lay on Tuesday issued a voluntary recall of select Rold Gold pretzels due to potential peanut contamination.

Rold Gold Tiny Twists, Rold Gold Thins, Rold Gold Sticks and Rold Gold Honey Wheat Braided pretzels are subject to the recall. The company’s flour supplier recently issued a recall declaring undeclared peanut residue in its product, which spurred Frito-Lay’s action to take possibly contaminated products off the market and alert consumers.

The company has not received any reports of illness associated with the potential presence of peanuts, and no other Frito-Lay products are impacted.

Details on how to determine if you have bought affected products can be found on the FDA’s website. It also notes that the impacted products have been sold both individually and as a part of Frito Lay multipacks.

Contaminated pretzels can be returned to the retailer for a full refund.
