First Ritz crackers, now the Goldfish. They better not recall my Triscuits.

1. How exactly can Salmonella get into baked goods like this? Whey powder?

I just assumed something like that would be killed in the baking process and that there is also regular testing of batches of product and ingredients used....

What concerns me about this too is that Goldfish are one of the most common "crackers" that small kids have and are in their lunches.....

2. They're kiddie crack.

I agree with your concern about Goldfish being one of the most common snacks for small kids which is why I posted this in LBN.

3. In lunches and

Ground into my couches, their car seats, the entire interior of our van, the carpet in their bedroom. My kids leave a trail of Goldfish dust wherever they walk. :/

5. +1000

This made me laugh so hard because I remember it way too well......

6. Did you ever clean your car and then

a car seat? And there's like 40 tons of smashed unknown crumbs and food? I feel like my kids have somehow improved my immune system response.

11. Don't throw those crumbs out! They're great on mac & cheese, chili, and can't be beat as a

coating on fried chicken. A great all around flavor enhancer! 😋

4. Those weren't goldfish crackers, they were salmon crackers.

10. That's really sad to hear. Goldfish cracker packaging has the best calorie chart for diabetics.

The labeling is also good to help determine what sort of potential allergens - and how much exposure there is to them - per serving.
People with food-sensitive conditions or concerned parents can accurately count out how many goldfish can be identified as a serving without too much risk. With the small size of the cracker, the servings can be eaten slowly enough to be a satisfactory treat.

Wonder where they got their whey powder from. Pepperidge Farm is part of a large conglomerate that shares suppliers over different product lines; we should be hearing of recalls from other food companies soon.
