What it is
Star Pretzels are a type of pretzel shaped like a star. They are made from a dough of flour, water, yeast, and salt, similar to traditional pretzels. The dough is typically baked until crisp.
Why it's used
Star pretzels are primarily used as a snack food. Their fun shape makes them popular in snack mixes, as a topping for desserts like yogurt or ice cream, or coated in chocolate or candy for a sweet treat.
Health notes
Star pretzels are considered a grain-based food product. The FDA generally recognizes ingredients like flour, yeast, and salt as safe (GRAS) for their intended use. Consumption of pretzels in typical amounts is not associated with adverse health effects. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many common pretzel ingredients.
Allergen info
Star pretzels are typically made with wheat flour, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. They may also be subject to cross-contamination with other allergens during manufacturing.
