Are there any current recalls on peanut butter pretzels?
Executive summary
Yes — multiple recalls documented in the supplied reporting include peanut-butter–coated or peanut-butter–filled pretzel products as part of broader peanut butter or Salmonella-related recall actions, most notably a Coblentz Chocolate Company recall that explicitly lists an “Oversized Peanut Butter Pretzel Cluster” and several retail and manufacturer actions tied to Jif peanut butter contamination concerns [1] [2]. The recalls are scattered across product types and companies, and reporting indicates the problem has surfaced in both direct peanut-butter items and snacks that use recalled peanut butter as an ingredient [1] [2].
1. The most direct example: chocolate maker pulls peanut-butter pretzel cluster
Coblentz Chocolate Company of Walnut Creek, Ohio issued a recall that explicitly includes an “Oversized Peanut Butter Pretzel Cluster” among a long list of peanut butter-containing confections because the products have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella; the FDA posting ties that company’s recall to the larger J.M. Smucker Co. Jif® peanut butter recall and notes Coblentz has stopped using Jif in production for the time being [1].
2. Retail snack packs and pretzel snacks also hit by related recalls
Consumer Reports and other coverage cataloguing products made with Jif peanut butter show multiple snack-pack and pretzel-style items — for example, Wegmans’ “Apple, Pretzels & Cheese with Peanut Butter” and various convenience-store apple/pretzel snack packs — appearing on recall lists because they contain peanut butter sourced from recalled lots [2]. Those notices indicate that peanut-butter–containing pretzel snacks are among the category of products affected when a widely used peanut butter supply is recalled [2].
3. Historic and regional pretzel-related recalls point to recurring risks
Independent reporting and local press show earlier, manufacturer-initiated actions that specifically mentioned peanut butter–pretzel combinations: for instance, Oklahoma-based Braum’s voluntarily recalled a Peanut Butter Pretzel ice cream over a possible Salmonella link tied to a supplier in the wake of broader peanut contamination investigations [3]. Similarly, Palmer Candy Company’s recall actions in 2025 included peanut-butter snack mixes and pretzel products in a Salmonella-related federal action [4], demonstrating the recurring exposure of pretzel-format snacks when peanut butter supplies are implicated.
4. Broader distribution-center and ingredient recalls expand the net to pretzels
Mass or facility-level recalls have pulled vast swaths of items — including jars of Jif and many packaged snacks and pretzels — when distributors were found unsanitary or when large peanut-butter manufacturers issued recalls, meaning pretzel products can be swept up even if the pretzel manufacturer was not the original source of contamination [5] [6]. Reporting from outlets summarizing large FDA lists highlights that many affected items are downstream products that simply used recalled peanut butter as an ingredient [7] [5].
5. What this reporting does — and does not — prove now
The supplied sources demonstrate that peanut-butter pretzel products have been and are being recalled as part of broader peanut butter/Salm onella events, with explicit listings like Coblentz’s Pretzel Cluster and multiple retail snack packs named in recall notices [1] [2]. These sources do not provide a single, up-to-the-minute federal database snapshot within this package, so this account cannot certify whether additional peanut-butter pretzel SKUs beyond those reported here have been added or removed since the cited notices; for the latest status, FDA recall pages and retailer alerts remain the authoritative, real-time sources [1] [2].
