It is perhaps a good thing soup season has ended and no one will be reaching for crackers to accompany their hearty meals as Walmart<\/a> has issued an urgent recall on a popular Great Value brand item citing a potential contamination. The often sought after snack in question is the retailer’s private label brand of oyster crackers. All consumers are being urged to exercise caution as this item is a pantry staple and as such, a pack from the recalled batch could very well be hiding at the back of your pantry.<\/p>\n

Walmart Great Value oyster crackers are being recalled nationwide<\/h2>\n

The United States Food and Drug Administration has issued an active recall of the Great Value Oyster Cracker packages sold at Walmart, along with several other major retailers under their respective private label brands. The product had been widely distributed and as such, twenty-four states have been impacted. The potentially contaminated oyster crackers have been recalled in the following states: Alabama, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

According to the official report, the recall was initiated after it was discovered that fragments of stainless steel wire had possibly contaminated the product. The FDA classified this recall with a Class II status which means that the consumption of this contaminated product could cause “temporary or reversible health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.” Simply put, whilst there is a potential for injury or health risks, the likelihood of anything serious occurring is minimal.<\/p>\n

However, if any individual finds themselves feeling ill or faced with any sort of injury due to consuming the recalled oyster crackers, they should immediately seek medical attention or contact their nearest healthcare provider.<\/p>\n

The oyster crackers in question were originally manufactured by Shearers Foods LLC. and later distributed around the country to various retailers. The oyster crackers were distributed to Target under its Market Pantry private label, the Great Value private label range carried at Walmart, Giant Eagle, and Vista, amongst others.<\/p>\n
