"Several months back it was brought to our attention that the Sour Cream & Chive and Buffalo Blue Cheese Pretzel Pzazz pretzels were mistakenly labeled as Parve. At the time we had the product withdrawn as well as film destroyed. It appears there is a distributor that still has some product in stock and the product has resurfaced. The product is sold in Canada. We have received calls from consumers that purchased the product in Toronto & Montreal."
