## Why This Recall is Important
Sesame allergies are on the rise across the U.S. and can result in severe—and sometimes life-threatening—allergic reactions. For individuals with sesame allergies, consuming even trace amounts of sesame can trigger symptoms such as swelling, difficulty breathing, or anaphylaxis. This recall highlights the importance of proper labeling practices to protect the health of consumers.
Firehook Gourmet Crackers issued this recall after discovering that a breakdown in their production and packaging processes led to improper labeling. This means sesame-containing crackers were distributed without sesame being listed in the ingredient list, putting certain individuals at risk if they consume the product.
No illnesses have been reported as of the recall date, but taking immediate precautions is essential if you’ve purchased this product.
