Whey prompts another massive crackers recall

Campbell Company of Canada is recalling Pepperidge Farm brand Goldfish Flavour Blasted Xtreme Cheddar Crackers from the marketplace due to possible Salmonella contamination.

In the United States, four brands of Pepperidge Farm crackers are under recall.

This follows a massive recall of Ritz sandwich crackers.

In both cases, it’s salmonella in whey powder used to make the cheese-flavoured crackers that triggered the recalls in the United States and Canada.

How whey that has gone through the hot powder-making process manages to be contaminated with salmonella is a big question.
