I get Snyder's pretzels all the time, but this time I got them something has got to be off. After eating them I got severe oral allergy syndrome from it. I've never had that happen before with these. I had swelling in my mouth and throat and … See More
I was close to going to the hospital or using an epi pen. It took almost three days to go down. I wasn't sure it was the pretzels at first. But a few days after I was doing better I had more pretzels and it happened again after I started eating them. I stopped again. I tried another brand and had no problems at all from the other brand.

There has to be too much of some ingredients in these or something that shouldn't be in them that has made its way in the product.

One thing I'd suggest the manufacturer and FDA/Regulators double check is the possible amount of cellulose containing ingredients if there is improperly processed cellulose or if it is being sourced from high risk for allergy wood and other sources. Perhaps also a pesticide issue with the wheat or other items used or improper cleaning of certain grains, etc. Possible mold contaminants may be present as well which are some of the worst allergies I suffer from. Based on my own personal allergies, there are a few possible culprits where things could have gone wrong and caused contamination at some point of the supply chain. I'm happy to help narrow it down and provide whatever I can to assist.

Ate my chicken and veggie bowl, halfway through I had HORRIBLE stomachache pain. I thought I just ate too much. 30 minutes later the most diarrhea I’ve ever seen in my life, followed by 10-20 times. Went to ER because I thought I was dying, they said nope, it was food poisoning.  | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Stomach Pain, Fever, Cramps, Chills
