The recall was due to whey powder found in the four products that had been “the subject of a recall by the whey powder manufacturer due to the potential presence of Salmonella,” Pepperidge Farm said in a statement.

The company said no illnesses have been reported and the products were distributed in the U.S.

Pepperidge Farm asked customers not to eat the crackers if they have the product. The company is also offering reimbursements on its website to those who purchased them.

Goldfish crackers are not the only snack food to be recalled over salmonella fears recently.

Some Ritz Cracker varieties were also recalled Saturday due to a potential presence of salmonella. Kellogg’s recalled the cereal Honey Smacks earlier this month after it was linked to a salmonella outbreak in 31 states, affecting about 100 people; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned consumers to avoid the cereal.
