Another year has gone by, and we wish we could report that our legal efforts have successfully ended, but that is not the case. As those of you who have followed us over the years now know, the legal process is a tough slog, and especially tough when the defendant is now a large insurance company.
The year has been spent going back and forth with us trying to elicit discovery materials from the defendant and roadblocks going up right, left and sideways. This is a bit of a replay of the original case that we eventually won. We have to be diligent and incredibly persevering. We are doing just that.
In the meantime, we wish everyone out there a happy holiday season and may 2022 bring us the freedom and renewed camaraderie that we all miss during this pandemic.
All the best,
The RyKrisp Team
Why are there no comments on this update?
No idea. We take them as they come. Ted
Thanks for the reply! I thought it might be a setting or something being off on my end but now I know it’s not…
Thanks for keeping after the fight. I still miss RyKrisp crackers! Shame on the big insurance company and shame of the lawyers! Any hope of a recipe?
Sharon, Thanks. As to recipe, I am not an expert but what I learned in buying the brand and making crackers at the beginning is that it is the methodology of production that is key vs. the recipe. It seems very, very difficult to replicate in a small-scale operation because of some steps that make RYKRISP unique. Ted L
I hope there is a successful conclusion to your litigation in 2022. I miss being g able to go to the store and buy a good imported cheese, and box of RyKrisp to go with it!
Thx, Ted L
Thanks for the update! Still wishing all of legal issues with the Big Corp will be resolved soon. Truly miss Ry Krisp crackers which I was introduced in my early childhood.
Best of luck in getting a successful resolution in 2022 and Ry Krisp back on the shelves!
Mary
Mary – Thanks. We’re giving it our best shot. Ted L
Cannot wait until these are back on the shelves!
Brenda – Thanks for the support. Many hurdles. Working on all…sequentially…the legal stuff is first on the critical path. Ted L
OMG–I’ve been missing RyKrisp and finally thought to do some digging to see if they disappeared or where I could buy them. So sorry to hear you’re trying and running up against legal walls. Keep on–we RyKrisp fans are behind you!
Marcy – Thx! Ted L
I still have one box left đ
Every now and then I’ll eat one. (They’re actually still good – I live in a dry climate.)
Is this really so important to an insurance company? One would think that it would not be worth the legal bills to them.
I truly admire your perseverance and hope you can continue.
Please do let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
Karl – We have been surprised many times by the resistance of insurers. One really has to be persistent (and young enough to last đ ). Thanks for the words of support. Ted L
Hi Ted-
I have been checking the site for a couple of years now, following along anxiously awaiting my beloved Ry Krisp’s. So thank you for keeping us posted on the litigation. For sure? When this is over you will be going back into production? I love, love, love my Ry Krisp’s and miss my pizza!! Yep. Instead of buying a pizza pie, I cheese and pepperoni individual Ry Krisp’s, bake in toaster oven for a few minutes and voila! Pizza craving satisfied!
Nothing in life is ever guaranteed, but that would be our hope. Our focus is pretty single-minded on first winning this. Certainly an endurance test…I wonder how long Hercules labored? Thanks, Ted
Change the name to RYE-Crisps
I am so disappointed that these amazing crackers are not available and hope they they will be at some point! They are so much better than any other cracker and I believe, much healthier. Itâs hard to find anything as good that is fat-free, sugar free, and low in sodium (compared to other crackers.) I wonât be sending my â101 ways to enjoy RyKrisp Crackersâ book to anyone that is preventing these from being available! But seriously, in a time when people are looking for healthier snacks, not to mention that jobs would be created, we need RyKrisp crackers. Keep up the good fight!
Thanks for the words of support. It’s a tough trail, but we’re continuing at the fight. Definitely, there are moments of frustration. Ted L
Eagerly awaiting victory and a return of your product to shelves!
Nothing in the justice system is quick these days. The pandemic has really pushed timing back, but we continue the fight. Thx! Ted L
Wow. When I looked for ry-krisp the other day (I used to love it, but haven’t thought about it in a long long time) I thought “Well, that’s that.”. How great to see you are still out there fighting the good fight. Being an attorney myself, I can imagine what you are going through. Given the demand for natural and health-conscious snacks, don’t give up. You will be rewarded. I am pulling for you. Cheers!
Chris – Thanks for the nice comments. Quite the prolonged effort here. Best, Ted L
Well⌠sure glad I found this site. Now I know WHY I canât find Nabisco Rye Crisp â seasoned or not! Do you have a substitute brand you recommend that is most similar â at least âtil yâall are back on the shelves?
Is the company youâre fighting in Finland?
We are fighting insurers now, trying to collect on a judgement in our favor. It isn’t or wasn’t Nabisco…was ConAgra before being sold to a small group of individuals. Can’t help on the recommendations as we’re a bit unique. WASA is obviously the biggest brand now. Ted L
Hope you the best of luck.
Thx!
Just discovered all this information.
I’m rooting for you to get his all resolved and begin production of that wonderful RyKrisp.You have lots of fans out here.
Christy – Apologies for the slow response. Many thanks for rooting for us. Ted
Love that RyKrisp. I’ll be ordering a lot when this is all resolved. Hope to see it on the shelves soon.
There are a lot of us fans out here.
Itâs Ridiculous that you cannot make the cracker without so many legal attorneys involved! All the other crackers on the market donât hold up against these.
Sad but true. To be clear, we won our lawsuit and are able to produce but as a small company, adequate funding is critical. The proceeds from said suit are what would enable us to move forward. Legal stuff takes a lot out of companies. Thanks for the good words. Ted
I need you back I love having your crackers for Passover and I miss them terribly Iâve had these every year for most of my life you got to give them back to me now
Itâs April 17 2022 are you still working on restarting the RyKrisp Company, I sure hoping you are
Answered your other comment in more detail. Thx, Ted
Edward – apologies for your loss of some favorites on Passover, but the wheels of justice grind incredibly slowly. We are waiting 3-4 months between hearings and nothing gets solved in 1, 2 or 3 hearings. COVID slowed the whole process down, not to say it was fast before. All the best, Ted
Huge Idaho RyKrisp fan. The accompanied me on many multi day trips over the years, were great at a picnic, home and for entertaining. Unique in taste and texture – have not tried any rye crispbread that is similar.
Just stumbled on this after a search – sorry about the ongoing legal issues shades of America.
Good luck – I will certainly be a buyer if you can figure out production!
JT – Thanks for finding us and reading up….yes, America. We’re on the case, so to speak. Ted
So very glad I found this site!! Have been searching for what happened to RyKrisp – now I know. Thank you for fighting for these!!
Glad you found the updates. Ted
RyKrisp is still my favorite crispbread from my childhood, there are other brands on the market but they just don’t taste the same… really hoping that if production restarts the products will be the same as they used to be… when hostess shut down their production and a new company restarted months later, the new products were and still are not anything close to what the originals were….
Marty – good post. When I was a kid, I was a Twinkies connoisseur but haven’t had one in 30 years. You have piqued my interest. Will have to try and compare. We did learn lots about what makes RyKrisp unique in our time owning the business. We’d agree that the original formula/method is the way to go. That’s key. Thanks for input. Ted L
Is there a timetable for RyKrisp to resume manufacture?
Mark – no timetable. All dependent on legal outcome, and that moves like molasses. The website will keep posted as we hit milestones. Thanks, Ted L
Molasses is a relative speed demon compared to the modern courts. More akin to waiting for a pitch drop…
True!
I remember sadly as RyKrisp faded from one market after another. Supply ran out long ago.
There really is no substitute for RyKrisp flavor and texture.
Hoping you’re back in ’22.
True…we keep working at it…slow grind for sure. Ted
I need seasoned RyKrisp!!!!!
A collective need…
