Baptista’s Bakery, Inc., and Glutino, a division of GFA Brands, Inc., are voluntarily recalling some of their cracker products because the seasoning supplier, Kerry Ingredients, recalled the seasoning blend due to possible Salmonella contamination.

No illnesses have been reported to date with consumption of these products; however they were distributed nationally.

Glutino Rosemary and Olive Oil Snack Crackers, and Baptistas’ LiveGfree Gluten Free Rosemary and Olive Oil Multiseed Crackers products with “Best By” dates of October 26, 2014, and 11-24-14, respectively, are being recalled because they have the potential to be contaminated with
Salmonella, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses.

Both products were sold in a 4.25-ounce size, and Glutino offered a 20-ounce size as well.

Customers who purchased these products are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact Glutino at 201-421-3970 and Baptistas at 414-409-2123.

More information about these and other recalls is available from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration at www.fda.gov.
