Goldfish Latest Crackers Recalled Because Of Salmonella Risk

You might want to steer clear of most popular snack crackers for the time being. On the heels of Monday’s Ritz cracker sandwiches and Ritz Bits recall, Pepperidge Farms announced that is voluntarily recalling four types of Goldfish crackers for the same reason: a risk of salmonella.

Pepperidge Farms says it ingredient supplier for the whey powder included in some Goldfish crackers notified the company about possible contamination, and the crackers are being recalled “out of an abundance of caution.”

The Goldfish crackers involved in the recall include Flavor Blasted Xtra Cheddar, Flavor Blasted Sour Cream & Onion, Goldfish Baked with Whole Grain Xtra Cheese and Goldfish Mix Xtra Cheddar + Pretzel.

The products were distributed throughout the United States. No illnesses have been reported. No other Pepperidge Farm products in the U.S. are subject to this recall.

Ritz parent company Mondelez Global LLC has issued a voluntary recall of certain Ritz cracker sandwiches and Ritz Bits products. A supplier recalled whey powder used in the items because of possible salmonella contamination.

Recalled products include several types of Ritz Bits, cheese cracker sandwiches, and cracker variety packs. A full list of the recalled items can be found here.

So far, there have been no reported illnesses associated with consuming the Ritz products.
