Crackers Sold By Publix, Walmart And Others Recalled

ALABAMA — Crackers sold at several stores throughout Alabama are being recalled because of a packaging mistake. Simple Mills is initiating a voluntary recall because a select number of Fine Ground Sea Salt Almond Flour Cracker boxes were erroneously packed with bags of Farmhouse Cheddar Almond Flour Crackers.

A statement via the Food and Drug Administration from Simple Mills said the packaging does not list the presence of milk, a possible allergen.

"Some people who have an extreme allergy or severe sensitivity to milk could run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product," the statement said.

The recalled product could have been sold as an individual box or part of a 3 or 6 pack of 4.25 oz boxes, according to Simple Mills. On individual boxes, the lot code (Best By date) can be found on the top of each box and the item number (UPC) can be found on the bottom of each box.

"This product was distributed nationally via brick-and-mortar retail, direct delivery, and e-commerce," Simple Mills' statement said. "This is the only product that is subject to the recall. Impacted retailers have been notified and are removing the product from their warehouses, distribution centers, and store shelves. We were made aware of this issue via consumer contact. To date, there has been one report of a consumer experiencing mild symptoms."

In Alabama, the crackers have been pulled from more than 200 stores throughout the state, including Publix, Winn-Dixie, Kroger and Walmart, which also posted a list of all the stores at which the crackers were sold.

Consumers who purchased the impacted product or have questions can contact Simple Mills at info@simplemills.com or 312-410-8414 Monday through Thursday 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. and Friday 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.
