I have the same complaint, same UPC#...They taste like insectiside of something. I ate about 10 of them in my chili last night, woke up in a sweat, turned on AC and went back to bed...Today my children all complained about them, and I tasted seperately from any other food...They Smell and taste horrible, also burn my throat some...just drank milk to dilute and rinse...?
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.

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.
I just opened a pack tonight and still cant get the smell out of the house and am getting a headache...put crackers in the trash can outside. I dont have the box they came in.
My twin sister was just really sick for the past 2 days after eating Saltines! She was stuffy from a sinus/allergy attack, so she didn’t smell the terrible chemical smell from the Saltines until 1.5 days later (& countless trips to toilet to vomit!)& thought maybe she caught some terrible virus or was horribly ill. But after the Claritin kicked in, she wasn’t stuffy anymore, & when she went to have more saltines for her upset stomach, the smell/toxicity was obvious! Horrible! We are big fans of Saltines :-(
I just got a box of the smelly crackers. I was having them in my chili and didn't figure it out until I ate one already. I smelled the package and they reek. Date on the box is 23 Dec '09 with the same UPC# [protected] 8. Has anyone found out what the cause is?
Were you okay?
Almost vomited from the toxic fumes and taste after just one cracker. Did some investigation seems they are using plastic paper linings from repurposed plastic bottles. Sometimes "green" is just the color of your face after eating a cracker!
Well are you okay?
