I have the same complaint, same UPC#...They taste like insectiside of something. I ate about 10 of them in my chili last night, woke up in a sweat, turned on AC and went back to bed...Today my children all complained about them, and I tasted seperately from any other food...They Smell and taste horrible, also burn my throat some...just drank milk to dilute and rinse...?
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I THINK the manufacturers of various crackers and cookies etc are SPRAYING them with something to give a longer shelf life. I don't know what it is but to me its non-edible and from now on when I get a package where the contents SMELL funny, I"m taking them back to the store I bought them from. I'll tell them why too.
I recently opened an unexpired box of unopened premium saltine crackers and they literally smell like plastic or some type of horrible chemical. I know your post was years back but seeing what came of your complaint? Did you get an answer as to what was causing the unpleasant chemical smell? Inquiring minds want to know. Thx :)
Ran out of crackers so I bought a new box. Everything was fine. This is my routine. I have an old Tupperware cracker box that holds 4 sleeves. I put 3 in it and I also have a single sleeve Tupperware container that I put of the packages in. All were sealed up nice and snug unopened wrappers and in the air tight containers. When we got around to needing crackers with out homemade soup, the single Tupperware and unopened crackers had the smell of a bad chemical. I didn't have to open the crackers to smell them. I tasted one and it was rancid horrible. I opened the large Tupperware container and the smell was also horrible. This is without opening the crackers and in 2 separate air tight containers. So, this has to have something to do with the wax packaging. I washed the 2 Tupperware containers with Dawn and they still stunk, then washed with with Clorox spray cleaner and the still stunk, then filled them with like a 25/75 mixture of Bleach and water and let them sit. The odor was still there after an hour. We had the Tupperware containers for decades and I sure hated to but, we had to throw them out. Whatever this is, it's bad.
Oh my gosh no matter the brand, I have noticed the past year all of them taste like chemicals and I end up throwing the entire box out. And yes it burns my throat and I can not get the taste out of my mouth. Something is going on.
*I MISS MY SALTINES THAT DO NOT TASTE LIKE CHEMICALS *
Just open a pack of saltines.. crushed them in my soup. I had to dump everything. Taste like chemicals maybe bug poison. I've never experienced anything like this in my 42 years. I'm scared my toddlers will get sick.
