Publisher’s Platform: Why are these fish still on store shelves? I was wrong.

Published:

Although the brand was recalled, the Best Buy Date was not part of the recall.  My apologies to my friends at Safeway.

On July 23rd Pepperidge Farms recalled Goldfish crackers because they might be tainted with Salmonella – including packages with the UPC number 1410004921.

Guess what was being sold – and purchased – on July 26 at 3 p.m. at a Safeway grocery store in Saint Helena, CA?

FDA, seriously, it is time to make the supply chain transparent – especially during a recall and/or outbreak.

The code for the recalled Goldfish crackers can be seen on this package, which was purchased at a store in California after the recall was initiated.
