(Richmond, Va.) — The latest food recall involves a popular snack cracker. On Monday, Pepperidge Farm voluntarily recalled four varieties of its Goldfish crackers saying the whey powder to season the snacks could be contaminated with salmonella bacteria. This announcement came on the heels of a similar announcement Saturday from Deerfield-based Mondalez Global recalling 16 kinds of Ritz Bitz and Ritz Cracker Sandwiches for potential whey contamination.

As of Tuesday, no illnesses were reported in either of the recent cracker outbreaks. But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is monitoring a multistate salmonella outbreak involving Kellogg’s Honey Smacks cereal.
