4 Types Of Goldfish Crackers Recalled For Salmonella Fears
NORWALK, Conn. (CBSLA/AP) — Pepperidge Farm is voluntarily recalling four varieties of Goldfish Crackers because of fears they could potentially have salmonella.
The company on Monday took the action after one of its ingredient suppliers notified it that whey powder used in a seasoning may be contaminated. The products were distributed in the United States and no illnesses have been reported.
Whey powder is the same ingredient that prompted a recall of Ritz Cracker products Monday. It's not clear if the supplier of whey powder is the same for both products.
