****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](https://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm614548.htm?ref=foodsafetynews.com) 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.
