Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

City Line Foods Manufacturing Co. is recalling approximately 1,196,669 pounds of frozen pretzel hot dog products sold under brands like Auntie Anne’s, Nathan’s Famous, and Kunzler. These products were produced between February 14, 2014, and November 14, 2014, and were distributed nationwide through retail stores and fundraising programs. The recall was initiated because the products contain soy lecithin, a known allergen that was used as a releasing agent during production but not declared on the ingredient labels.

Risk

The products contain undeclared soy lecithin, which poses a risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if consumed by individuals with a soy allergy. While no adverse reactions have been reported to date, the presence of an undisclosed allergen is a significant health hazard for sensitive consumers.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your freezer for the following brands of pretzel dogs: Auntie Anne’s (Classic or Fundraising), West Creek, Kunzler, Berks, Nathan’s Famous, or City Line Foods.
  2. Look for the establishment number 'EST. 34073' or 'P-34073' inside the USDA mark of inspection on the product packaging to confirm it is part of this recall.
  3. Verify if the product was produced between February 14, 2014, and November 14, 2014.
  4. If you have a soy allergy, do not consume the product; though no specific disposal or refund instructions were provided in the announcement, consumers should contact the manufacturer for guidance.
  5. If you are concerned about a potential injury or illness related to this product, contact a healthcare provider immediately.
  6. For questions regarding the recall, contact Heather Neary, Auntie Anne's Inc.'s Chief Marketing Officer, at (717) 435-1558 or call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854.
