The first article says the products were recalled by the whey product manufacturer. Assuming this is where the contamination happened, affecting both cracker companies. Who is the whey product manufacturer? Where are they located? These days, I'm very careful about avoiding food products made overseas or with ingredients made overseas. So many manufacturers in third and second world countries don't allow health inspections. Same thing applies to pharma manufacturers in India and China. US inspectors are not allowed in their facilities.

From last week:

The possibility of salmonella in an ingredient caused Flowers Foods to recall Swiss rolls sold nationwide under several brands, including the house brands of Walmart, Food Lion and H-E-B.

Also, recalled is Captain John Derst’s Old Fashioned Bread, a product sold in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia.

Several brands of Swiss rolls sold nationwide recalled on possible salmonella issue

Should we change the title since it isn't only for Goldfish?

OT/Related: Pepperidge Farm Parmesan Goldfish were my go-to snack for many years. Alas! I developed lactose intolerance and could no longer enjoy them without taking Lactaid. Bummer :(

Indeed. I will never forget the “contaminated wheat gluten from China” appearing in soooo many major pet food brands which sickened and killed many pets.:(

I got a call from Smith's about my Goldfish being recalled. It was while my Mom and I were drinking Champagne and eating Goldfish.
