Firehook crackers recalled: See list of affected states
Firehook of Virginia is voluntarily recalling one lot of its artisan-baked crackers because the product may contain undeclared sesame, a known allergen. The affected products, also known as Firehook's Classic Sea Salt Organic Crackers, were sold at retail stores in 11 states, including Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Virginia. The recall was initiated on May 30 after the company discovered that the "sesame-containing product" was placed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of the ingredient. The Alexandria, Virginia-based company issued a formal notice, shared with the Food & Drug Administration, on June 4. The error was the result of a "temporary breakdown" in the company's production and packaging process, which caused the wrong labels to be applied to the product, Firehook of Virginia's subsequent investigation found. "People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to sesame run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products," reads the company's notice. However, no illnesses have been reported to date. Here's what to know about the Firehook crackers recall. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle.

An investigation revealed that a temporary breakdown occurred in the company's production and packaging processes, resulting in incorrect labels being applied. It appears that one of Firehook's other staple flavors—which do contain sesame seeds—was accidentally sold under the Classic Sea Salt label. These flavors include: Multigrain Za'atar Crackers Everything Crackers Sesame is one of the nine most common food allergies in the nation, so if someone were to consume this product mistakenly, the side effects could be life-threatening.
