FDA Announces Recall on Crackers Sold at Walmart, Target, and More for Metal Contamination
More than 15,000 cases of oyster crackers have been recalled from Walmart, Target, and Giant Eagle after stainless steel wire was found in the product. The recall was initiated on Feb. 21, 2025, and was classified as 'Class II,' meaning the product may cause 'temporary' or 'reversible' health consequences, by the FDA on March 11.
Shearer's Foods, LLC recalled its oyster crackers, which are packaged and labeled under multiple brand names, after the food was found to be contaminated with foreign material. The oyster crackers were distributed to Target, Walmart, and Giant Eagle stores in Alabama, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. The recalled products were also distributed in 20-pound bulk packages that were not meant for retail sale.
The crackers were sold under the store-brand names Market Pantry Soup & Oyster Crackers at Target, Great Value Soup & Oyster Crackers at Walmart, Giant Eagle Oyster Crackers at Giant Eagle, and Vista Soup & Oyster Crackers in bulk.
You can identify if you have the recalled crackers by looking for the following information:
Market Pantry Soup & Oyster Crackers: UPC 085239114933, Sell-By Date May 23, 2025; Code Date May 23, 2025 BC06
Great Value Soup & Oyster Crackers: UPC 078742085494; Sell-By Date May 23, 2025; Code Date May 23, 2025 ABO6, May 23, 2025 BBO6, May 23, 2025 CBO6
Giant Eagle Oyster Crackers: UPC: 030034915087; Best-By Date May 24, 2025; Code Date May 24, 2025 AB06
Vista Soup & Oyster Crackers: UPC 045100008006; Best-By Date May 24, 2025; Code Date May 24, 2025 AB06
20lb. Bulk Oyster Crackers: UPC 10045100400203; Best By May 24, 2025; Code Date May 24, 2025 AB06, May 24, 2025 BB06
Because Shearer's announced the recall in February, the recalled products are likely off retailer shelves. However, if you purchased the recalled oyster crackers, you should not consume them. Instead, throw them away or return them to the place of purchase for a refund or exchange.

Walmart heiress Christy Walton's anti-Trump ad fuels MAGA-led call for boycott of retailer
Walmart could become the target of a MAGA-led boycott after an heiress to the retail fortune funded a full-page ad in the New York Times promoting a nationwide protest movement against President Trump. The ad, run by the 'No Kings' movement, calls on Americans to 'mobilize' on Saturday — Flag Day and Trump's birthday — in order to 'reject authoritarianism.' Trump is planning to hold a massive military parade in Washington, DC on that day. 5 Christy Walton funded an anti-Trump ad in the New York Times. Getty Images The heiress, Christy Walton, is the widow of John T. Walton, son of Walmart founder Sam Walton. Though she holds no active role in Walmart's operations, she retains a roughly 1.9% stake in the company and has an estimated net worth of $19.3 billion, according to Forbes. The 'No Kings' movement is planning roughly 1,500 protests nationwide to counter Saturday's military parade — but notably absent from the list of protest sites is DC. The ad, which appeared in Sunday's edition of the Times, does not name Trump directly but criticizes efforts that undermine civil rights and democratic values. It reads, in part, 'The honor, dignity, and integrity of our country are not for sale,' and includes a QR code linking to a map of more than 1,800 planned protests set to take place nationwide. Reaction from Trump's MAGA allies was swift — with many directly or indirectly calling for a boycott of the nation's largest retailer.

Check out more newsletters Kari Lake, a former Arizona gubernatorial candidate and now a White House special advisor, posted on X (formerly Twitter): 'Do you shop at Walmart?' Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) wrote on X: 'Walmart heiress Christy Walton is funding full-page color ads in the New York Times for 'No Kings Day,' a nationwide counter-protest scheduled for Trump's birthday, organized by the far-left group Indivisible.' 'Looks like the Walmart dynasty is big mad about China tariffs,' the lawmaker wrote. The hashtag @BoycottWalmart started gaining traction on X on Wednesday, with some social media users branding Christy Walton a 'traitor.' 5 The ad, run by the 'No Kings' movement, calls on Americans to 'mobilize' on Saturday. x/RepLuna 'Boycott Walmart!' wrote longtime Trump supporter Roger Stone, who added: 'The Walmart Heiress subsidizes insurrection. Next up peaceful protest outside all of their stores to encourage people not to shop there. Essentially what left-wing stooges did to Tesla. Let's go.' The Post reached out to Christy Walton for comment. Organizers say the decision to forgo a demonstration in the nation's capital is intentional, casting it as a refusal to legitimize what they call a political spectacle. The parade is expected to commemorate both the 250th anniversary of the US Army and Trump's 79th birthday. Trump has issued a warning to anyone planning to protest Saturday's military parade, saying demonstrators will be met with a 'very big force.' 5 Kari Lake, a special adviser to the White House, suggested that consumers boycott Walmart. Ron Sachs – CNP for NY Post Karoline Leavitt, White House press secretary, said on Wednesday that the president 'supports the right of Americans to peacefully protest' and that 'is not the majority of the behavior that we have seen taking place in Los Angeles' — a reference to riots that broke out following immigration raids by ICE. Leavitt also bristled at suggestions that Trump views himself as a king, telling reporters at the White House on Wednesday: 'The president views himself as the President of the United States of America. This is a constitutional republic, and we want to see all of our citizens be proud of the country in which they are given the privilege and the blessing to live…' Christy Walton, who inherited much of her fortune after her husband died in a 2005 plane crash, has since focused largely on philanthropy and environmental initiatives, maintaining a relatively low profile in public life. 5 Christy Walton is an heiress to the Walmart fortune. Walmart is one of the world's largest retailers. REUTERS Christy Walton's history of political involvement is limited, though she has previously supported educational and cultural causes, including funding the film adaptation of 'Bless Me, Ultima.' Her support for the 'No Kings' campaign marks one of the rare instances in which a member of the Walton family has backed a movement widely perceived as critical of Trump. Walmart, seeking to distance itself from the controversy, quickly issued a statement to The Post. 'The advertisement from Christy Walton [is] in no way connected to or endorsed by Walmart,' said spokesperson Joe Pennington, who added that Walton 'has no active role in company decisions.' 5 Christy Walton is the sister-in-law of Rob (far left), Alice (center) and Jim Walton (right). She was married to their late brother, John T. Walton, son of Walmart founder Sam Walton. Getty Images 'We condemn violence, including when it's directed towards law enforcement, and the damaging of property,' Pennington added. 'As a company with associates and customers in the Los Angeles region, we remain focused on their safety and that of impacted communities.' Trump recently urged Walmart to 'eat the tariffs' by absorbing the increase in prices that are likely to result from levies his administration has imposed on foreign imports. Nonetheless, pictures on social media purported to be taken of products sold at Walmart indicate that prices have spiked — though a spokesperson for the retailer told The Post that 'pricing fluctuations are a normal course of business and are influenced by a variety of factors.'

Small retailers on 'vacation from hell' as they seek clarity on Trump's China tariffs
When Matt Kubancik, a small business owner in Louisville, Kentucky, cast his ballot for Donald Trump in November, he was hoping that the Republican nominee's return to the White House would provide a spark to the economy and lead to reduced prices for gas and groceries. Instead, the first half-year of Trump's second term in the White House has been more like a "vacation from hell," Kubancik said. Guardian Baseball, the baseball goods company he co-founded in 2018, mostly relies on manufacturers in China, which is locked in a full-blown trade war with the U.S. It didn't take long for Kubancik to regret his vote. After 20 years as a Republican, Kubancik changed his registration to Democrat last month. "I've been a registered lifelong Republican. I've supported independent candidates and Democratic candidates in the state of Kentucky before, but this made it enough to switch parties," Kubancik said in an interview. "I don't feel the country is headed down the right path." While the stock market has bounced back from a brutal start to the year, thanks largely to the Trump administration pausing its most extreme tariffs announced in April, small retailers that rely on imports to stay afloat are stuck in no-man's land. Tariffs from China are still at a historically high rate of 30%, coming down at least temporarily from Trump's prior announcement of 145% after the two countries reached a 90-day truce on May 12. The big concern is what happens when that three-month agreement expires in August. Both countries have already accused each other of violating the preliminary trade agreement. Guardian Baseball sells its products on Amazon and in brick-and-mortar stores like Walmart. Even at a rate of 30% for goods from China, its costs are significantly higher than they were before Trump took office. Some small businesses have stopped ordering more inventory or are hitting pause on new product development while they wait to see how the situation evolves. Others have been forced to raise prices because they can no longer afford to digest higher import costs. The struggles faced by businesses like Guardian Baseball don't necessarily show up in the data. According to a survey of 270 business leaders released on Monday from Chief Executive Group, less than 30% of CEOs forecast either a mild or severe recession over the next six months. That's down from 46% who said the same in May and 62% in April. And a quarterly report published Tuesday from the National Federation of Independent Business showed that optimism increased slightly in May from April, though "uncertainty is still high among small business owners," NFIB Chief Economist Bill Dunkelberg said in the release. U.S. and Chinese officials late Tuesday concluded two days of trade talks in London. Under the preliminary agreement, the U.S. would apply 55% tariffs on Chinese goods, Trump said in a post on Truth Social. The full details of the agreement have yet to be released. Trump said the deal is subject to approval by his administration and China President Xi Jinping. "President Xi and I are going to work closely to open up China to American Trade," Trump wrote in a post. "This would be a great WIN for both countries!!!" Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told CNBC's "Money Movers" on Wednesday that U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports won't change from their current levels, even as a trade deal between Washington and Beijing has yet to be finalized. The White House didn't respond to a request for comment. Like Kubancik, Alfred Mai says his business has mostly been in wait-and-see mode during the trade dispute, despite the 90-day pause announced in May. Mai, co-founder of card game company ASM Games, said he grew increasingly worried last month as he thought about the "huge" inventory order he needed to place in time for the crucial holiday shopping period. He told his manufacturing partners to expedite production and speed shipments to the U.S. as fast as possible. "I have no idea what the situation will look like after the 90-day pause, so I would rather take a gut punch now than to potentially be wiped out in the future by a massive tariff increase," Mai said in an email. The order is slated to arrive just as the short-term agreement between the U.S. and China ends. But if rates increase before his shipment makes it stateside, Mai said he may not be able to afford the tax needed to take ownership of his "vital holiday inventory." Prices are going up regardless. With a tariff on China of 30%, Mai said he'll likely have to raise prices by 10% to 20% and hope that consumers are willing to pay. At Down Under Bedding, which is based just south of Toronto in Canada, Tony Sagar says "everything's on hold." Sagar's company sources some of its goose down pillows and duvets from China and is considering discontinuing some of its lower-margin items because it can no longer to afford to compete with cheaper rivals. "We've basically stopped any kind of importing or planning," Sagar said in an interview. Last month, Sagar said he was forced to refund a customer who purchased a $150 duvet but refused to pay $277 in additional tariff charges. He ran into the same issue last week after a shopper ordered a $595 duvet that came with a tariff bill of almost $1,200. Sagar said he now contacts "every single U.S. customer" after they place an order to make sure they're willing to pay extra duties. In addition to the China levy, the Trump administration placed a 25% tariff on goods from Canada. "Any time I hear that ding from Shopify, I have to worry about where the order is coming from," Sagar said. Greg Shugar, who operates multiple apparel businesses, said the problem with trying to plan for the future is that policy decisions are "all about Trump's ego." "If we understood the true motivation behind the administration we'd know where to go or what to do," said Shugar, co-owner of women's clothing company Carrie Amber Intimates and men's accessory maker Beau Ties Vermont. Shugar said Trump's shifting position on tariffs has left him paralyzed on whether or not to move production out of China. Last month, he joined a group of other small business owners at an event organized by the National Retail Federation, with a plan to bring their concerns to the White House. The group met with a representative from the Trump administration for about 30 minutes. Shugar said he left feeling more pessimistic about the tariff situation than before he walked in the door. "We're not going to eat a 30% tariff and neither is the consumer," Shugar said. "So there's actually no winners, there's only losers with these tariffs." After Walmart warned last month that it will have to raise prices, Trump told the retail giant to "eat the tariffs." Kubancik of Guardian Baseball said his company "got a big break" last year when it signed a deal with Walmart to put its products in 3,000 stores. Now he's delaying inventory orders from China and taking a more conservative approach to coming up with new products, because the company can't afford to take on added risk. "It felt like we finally made it as a brand," Kubancik said. "And now it feels like a plane nosediving."
