People are hilariously upset about the Goldfish recall
We are living in trying times. Not even our favorite childhood snacks are safe.
Pepperidge Farm announced a voluntary recall on Monday for four different flavors of Goldfish Crackers due to a fear of salmonella. According to a CBS report, an ingredient supplier for Pepperidge notified the company that the whey powder used in the cracker's seasoning could have been contaminated with the bacteria.

Some users who enjoy feasting on the cheddar fish feel personally attacked and are devastated by the warning.
I just want one more person to tell me that 4 bags of goldfish have been recalled.

Xtra cheddar goldfish were recalled because the cheese powder could possibly give you salmonella. My life is ruined.

Some people just don't seem to care and will continue consuming the crackers, salmonella and all.
Goldfish are being recalled and I have a package at my desk and I literally just considered eating them and getting salmonella just to get out of here rather than checking the info, so that's how my day's going, how about you

Y’all remember when Obama took a tiny sip of Flint water and said it was safe, but it wasn’t and he lied about it on TV?
Pepperidge Farm does. 👴🏼— Mathis Wellz (@MathisWellz) July 24, 2018

We can only hope that Pepperidge Farm will not let this happen again.
