Welcome to the real world.  Most food vendors have absolutely no idea
what's in what they sell.  I was slowly poisoned in college at the student
cafeteria even though I asked the cooking staff at each meal which things
had and did not have dairy.  They cooked the stuff and had no idea.

Best bet in those cases is look for the box.  Those pretzels come frozen
in a big box of pretzels, and typically, you can find an ingredient list
on the box.  Whether or not the ingredient list is truthful, accurate, or
meaningful is a topic for another message :)
