Your Favorite Goldfish Snack Were Recalled Because Of A Serious Salmonella Scare

You might want to check your pantry because Pepperidge Farms announced on Monday that four flavors of the fish sized snack are being recalled over possible salmonella, CBS News reports.

A supplier notified the company on Monday that one of the ingredients used to make Goldfish Crackers possibly contained salmonella. The whey powder is used in seasoning many of the snack flavors, but is now under recall. 

Here are the four Goldfish Cracker flavors exposed to the potentially tarnished whey powder:

• Flavor Blasted Xtra Cheddar
• Flavor Blasted Sour Cream & Onion
• Goldfish Baked with Whole Grain Xtra Cheddar
• Goldfish Mix Xtra Cheddar + Pretzel

There’s been no report of any sickness currently, but the company is still advising consumers not to eat the recalled Goldfish. The flavors under recall were sold in a variety of different packaging, which includes single serve snack packs, fold over, and resealable bags all ranging in sizes. The sell by dates do vary depending on the packaging and flavor, but most of the dates start in November 2018 to April 2019. 

Fortunately, the company is offering refunds to anyone who purchased these items.  You can return the recalled items to where you bought them for a full refund or contact Pepperidge Farms. 

Goldfish aren’t the only snack being recalled for possible salmonella. Ritz Crackers also announced this week a recall on numerous products for salmonella, including Ritz bits, Ritz cheese cracker sandwiches, Ritz bacon cracker sandwiches with cheese, Ritz whole wheat cracker sandwiches with white cheddar cheese, Ritz everything cracker sandwiches, and two multipack mixed cookie cracker variety assortments. 

I’d probably listen to their warning and throw out these items, ASAP!
