King's Hawaiian Recalls Pretzel Products In Rhode Island

RHODE ISLAND — King's Hawaiian has recalled its Pretzel Slider Buns, Pretzel Hamburger Buns, and Pretzel Bites, the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) said Tuesday.

The recall comes following a recall of an ingredient used in these products from supplier Lyons Magnus. Lyons Magnus recalled this ingredient due to the potential for it to cause microbial contamination, including from the organisms Cronobacter sakazakii and Clostridium botulinum.

No illnesses associated with King's Hawaiian pretzel bread have been reported, and no pathogens have been found in any King's Hawaiian products as of Tuesday, state health officials said.

The products were sold at Walmart, Stop & Shop and Target locations in Rhode Island. State officials said they also may have been sold by additional retailers in Rhode Island. Consumers in possession of any King's Hawaiian Pretzel Slider Buns, King's Hawaiian Pretzel Hamburger Buns or King's Hawaiian Pretzel Bites should dispose of the product.

This recall does not impact any other King's Hawaiian products, as none of their other products use this ingredient from Lyons Magnus.
