Apr 16, 2011 - If the date on your bread or snacks has expired, it does not mean they have not gone bad. Snack foods contain preservatives in order to maintain shelf life. Different types of snacks have varying expiration dates: Potato chips will last one month after expiration date. Crackers and pretzels can last up to three months.
+2 Votes Email I sent to the FDA Feb 8, 2010 Subject: Contamination of Nabisco Original Premium Saltine Crackers I just opened a package of Nabisco Original Premium Saltine Crackers (27DEC09AH102) from a 1 pound box, took a bite of one cracker, began to chew and tasted something that was not food, my tongue immediately started to burn so I spit the food out into a trash can. Decided to smell the package I had just opened and was met with an extremely strong chemical/pesticide scent. Became ill within 15 minutes, triggered the gag reflex to void the contents of my stomach even though I didn't swallow any of the cracker that I am aware of.
Then had abdominal cramps and an odd tingling sensation up my neck and across my head. Have not been able the clear the metallic taste from my palate for three hours. My family and I have consumed most of one of the four packages from the box in the previous month. There was no odor or bad taste. Have remaining contents of box. Two unopened packages and the package that is contaminated with one cracker missing. +1 Votes Response from FDA Apr 19, 2010 you can file a complaint with the FDA consumer complaint coordinator that handles TX by calling Texas-- (214) 253-5237 Ms.
