| Where we are – December 2020 |
| RyKrisp is hoping you and your families are staying safe through these uncertain times. We can assure you that we are up to speed on uncertainty. We figure the end of 2020 is a good time for an update. Picking up from our last update, we are at the moment in litigation with the defendant’s insurer and seeking to collect the judgment. That is critical if we are to resume production of RyKrisp crackers. With the pandemic, justice is moving more slowly than normal, but we did have a hearing in front of the judge yesterday. Here is a quick recap of what went on. Apologies if boring you with details, but we thought you might appreciate a bit of the “flavor” of the proceedings. After many months of delay, we had a hearing in front of our judge on various motions and counter-motions. The big picture is that it came out as well as we could have hoped, with the knowledge that we have a long, hard slog in front of us. – The insurer filed various motions to dismiss the case. Based on the briefs, the judge found no legal authority to support the motion to dismiss – Counts 1 and 2 that we filed relate to the insurer’s duty to defend and indemnify the defendant under their two insurance policies. The judge said these should proceed – Counts 3 and 4 relating to “bad faith” and unreasonable and vexatious conduct should also proceed. Importantly, the judge stated this is a factual rather than a legal issue. Thus, this clears the path for making progress with Discovery, something that has held up these proceedings – On our demand for a jury trial, the judge ruled a continuance on that, meaning no ruling for the moment. Our next status hearing will be on February 3rd. Thanks as always for being loyal fans and wishing you the best for the holiday season. The RyKrisp Team  |
Can you give us the recipe?
Shirley – Thanks for asking. One of the things that makes RYKRISP special and why you don’t see copycats is that the production is pretty complicated…not something anyone does via a recipe and home baking. Sorry about that. Ted L
Cant wait!! Im sick of Wasa!
A universal truth…thanks for sharing your opinion of WASA :-). Ted L
When can I get RYKRISP again? Anywhere?
It all comes down to the outcome of our collection of insurance proceeds from litigation. We know it’s frustrating but we are small and can’t/won’t get back into production without proper funding to do it right. Thanks for being a fan and maintaining interest. Ted L
I have been a fan of RyKrisp Crackers since I was young. At 75 it saddens me that I am unable to find them in any of the local markets or online.
It may sound crazy, but I enjoy them with peanut butter and sometimes adding sliced cheese.
Is there any source were they are available. I couldn’t find any on the internet.
Thank you,
Bill
Bill – it’s been a number of years since we produced. We need to win this insurance litigation to get sufficient funds to properly reintroduce. We know old fans and new ones are out there. It’s tough on us as well, and we appreciate your continued interest. Ted L
Please keep trudging forward. RyKrisp is a fixed point in my time-space continuum. I dreamed of winning the lottery and bringing the home team to my own KrispRy factory! I can’t wait to taste that cracker spread with butter and nibbled between slurps of Andersen’s Split Pea soup. 54 years since that first experience. I hope to smell the scent of baking crackers drifting over the Mississippi soon. Thanks
Like that dream, especially the “winning the lottery” part. Thx! Ted L
Keep fighting, we want your delicious cracker back…
Thx, Peter.
I wish you the best and can’t wait until your product is again in stores! ~Helena
Many thanks!
Good luck with your litigation. I would love to be able to taste RYKRISP for the first time. It sounds so delicious. Stay safe and healthy.
Brian, Great to hear from a potentially new customer, as there are so many “old hands” here. The interesting thing about RYKRISP is how modern tastes have come back to where the product has always been – great taste, light texture, healthy. All the best, Ted L
I see that your next hearing is this week. I wish you the best of luck! I cannot tell you how much my family and I have missed your product. My mother has been eating RyKrisp ever since I can remember. Our pantry was never without at least two boxes. We will have a wonderful celebration when you are back in production. My mother makes the most amazing reuben dip and nothing goes better with it than your crackers. Godspeed!
I am impressed with the attention to detail. Yes, another hearing…we are getting slow walked, as you might expect, but hopefully the judge will start putting the proverbial foot down. Thanks for being a fan and taking interest. Ted L
I’m eager to source Seasoned RYKRISP again. A life-long favorite — especially when spread with a pat of butter!
Danny – Thanks for being a long-time fan. Ted L
CANT WAIT FOR YOU TO RETURN. MY HUSBAND & I GREW UP WITH RYKRISP & YOU HAVE BEEN MISSED!!!!! WE ARE IN YOUR CORNER. SEE YOU SOON.
Jim and Helen – Not sure on timing or outcome, but we’re working hard and making progress. It is reassuring to have the support. Ted L
I want my RyKrisp back! (keep on keeping on, I hope you win)
The way you say it is even a bit catchy. Thx! Ted L
I sincerely hope you will be able to be in production soon. I truly miss your product!!
Nancy – Thanks for the words of support. Ted L
I grew up with your seasoned Ry Krisp and really miss it,
I hope you’ll have it back in production soon.
It’s the best platform for Pickled Herring there is.
Michael – guess the herring are slightly happier? Thanks for the good word on RyKrisp and pickled herring. Ted L
Wondered why I couldn’t find your fantastic products anywhere that I looked. Am SO sorry that someone has put you through legal hell and cost you and your customers and employees so MUCH. Have walked in your moccasins and will be praying for a quick end to this torture!
God Bless You! Paula Camp, Amarillo Tx.
Thanks, Paula. Ted L
Hi, I sure hope everything goes your way. I’ve missed your crackers for far too long. Wasa’s “rye” crackers are OK, but just not the same. Thank you!
Dave – Thanks for the kind words. We continue to work on satisfying the urge to eat RyKrisp. Best, Ted L
I miss being able to buy Ry Krisp.
We’re in there with you. All the best, Ted Leavitt
Hope this will expedite things. Something like this shouldn’t be drug out so long!
Thomas – cannot disagree with the comment. All the best, Ted L
Good luck! It would be great to be able to purchase RyKrisp crackers again; there’s not quite like them.
Thumbs up to that sentiment. Ted
I am so happy to discover RyKrisp may live again! I was heartbroken when production stopped and even tried making it myself (but it’s impossible to duplicate). Pulling for you to be back again soon! I echo the sentiment that rye-flavored WASA is disgusting and cannot compare.
Lori – Thanks for the “vote” for RYKRISP. Working on your behalf. Ted L
Ry-Krisp was a common food for us for many years. It was part of every back packing trip for sure.
Sorry about the legal troubles. I went looking for details but I didn’t find anything beyond what was posted on this site. From the outside, it seems pointless. If there’s a dispute about who owns the equipment figure that out later. The priority should be to start using the stuff and start making money. After that happens the courts can figure out who gets what on what ever time frame it wants.
Where does the money come from? If you step back in time, The contract manufacturer said we owed a bunch of money to them. We disagreed. As I am sure you can appreciate, money does not grow on trees. Thanks for your interest. Ted L
Just checking in, I also liked RyKrisp with peanut butter.
Wasa is like cardboard, No flavor, except the hard one, which is Hard, too hard so it was out from the get go.
Grandma had me eating RyKrisp as a kid back in the 60’s, but I didn’t like rye bread until about 10 years ago, lol.
Take care,
Please consider posting an update for 2021. Sorry to hear of your legal issues, please keep fighting.
A good reminder. Will do. Thx, Ted L
I just want my RyKrisp back!
I’ll eat it in the dark,
I’ll eat it in a sack.
I just want my RyKrisp back!
Thx, Dr. Seuss 🙂 Ted L
I’ve always been a Premium Saltine man, “down heer in Texis,” but I’m prepared to defect to the country of Ry Krisp should you return victorious – waving your cracker flag – after the war.
Destiny winks its eye.
One can only hope to be seen.
Words to live by. Thx! Ted L
I remember RyKrisp from childhood. My parents and grandparents favored it. Not my favorite at a young age, but recently I’ve had interest in purchasing it. After months of buying a similar product, I decided to look at the RyKrisp website to find out where I could get the original RyKrisp that I really want as an adult.
I’m so sorry to hear of the legal issues. I’d like to see you back in production so that I could have the original RyKrisp that I remember as a child.
Thank you for the updates. For the straightforward, easy to understand information.
Thanks for the nice note. We believe the truth is the best path forward (helped us at trial 🙂 ). We continue to be on the case. All these loyal fans help us chart a path. Ted L
I miss the rye krisp crackers. They are the best!
Thx!
I saw Marilyn Monroe’s diet recipe written as Ry Krisp. I thought I’d like to eat it and arrived at this Home Page. I hope it will be produced again. From a Japanese fan.
Greetings from afar. Thank you for the supportive words. Ted L
Hope you get back in producing the original ryecrisp I grew up on in the 1970s and 1980s. I miss the cracker when will you get back into production.
Thanks for the words of support. Ted L
Thank you, Ry-krisp team!!! I continue to hope that my favorite crackers of all time will return. ~ Steve
Thanks for the support. Ted L
Where can I obtain Rye Krisp at this time–9/22/23 ?? At 93 it remains my cracker of choice !
Nowhere as we continue to be out of production due to effects of litigation. Thanks for being a fan.
