Salmonella fears have prompted a mass recall of the cheese-flavoured snack Goldfish Crackers in the US.
Pepperidge Farms, owner of the brand, announced the recall of about 3.3 million units of the product on Monday.
One of its suppliers warned that the whey powder used as seasoning may contain the bacteria, which can cause illness and in some cases may be fatal.
Food giants Mondelez and Kelloggs have also recently recalled products over salmonella concerns.
In a press release,Pepperidge Farms revealed the four varieties of Goldfish Crackers affected, along with the sell by dates of the units to be recalled.
There have been no reports of illness from customers, a spokesperson said.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is also currently investigating an outbreak of salmonella linked to sliced melon. As of 19 June, 70 people across 7 states had been infected, the FDA said.
The company has posted a chart with the product codes on its website.
