Saltine Crackers Expiration Date
The last two boxes of Graham Crackers when opened had a chemical smell and tasted rancid. Our dogs, who usually love graham crackers, wouldn't even eat them (canary in the mine?). A call to the company elicited an apology and a coupon. The second box, shame on us. Then we switched sources and the chemical smell and rancid taste were gone but the size of the graham crackers in the new family pack was noticeably smaller.
Wheat Thins are in original box but not original crackers, they're horrible tasting, too thick and no flavor. Same with Better Cheddars, really bad tasting, too thick, no flavor. It's insulting that they thought customers would not notice the change and still call them original. I'm afraid to try the box of Ritz crackers I bought. Returning all of them to the store, I hope they take them back. A once distinguished respectable company at the Top of their game is now at the bottom. I will not buy any more Nabisco products unless they prove they fixed the manufacturing issues and quality control. They must realize that there are other companies making similar products that NOW taste better then theirs, If not they will soon enough. Shame on you Nabisco, closing your USA plants and Manufacturing in Mexico.
These are basically honey grahams, there is hardly any cinnamon sugar on these at all. What happened to all the goodness?! This is like buying Doritos and opening the bag only to find that the chips are just straight tortilla chips with none of the added flavor powder. This is like the graham cracker machine ran out of sugar and cinnamon but they kept it running anyway.
The Honey Maid Graham crackers were rancid. My child started vomiting after eating them. I tried one and had to spit it out. The taste was repulsive. These junk crackers are made in Mexico, and had a expiration date of June 2019. Please be aware. Our family will never purchase the Nabisco made in Mexico garbage again.
The last couple of boxes of Nabisco Ritz Wheat crackers have kept getting more brittle. The last box half the crackers were crumbs when I opened the paper tube. The remainder turned to crumbs in my hand when I tried to put peanut butter on it. Besides that there is one less cracker in each sleeve.

Original review: April 12, 2019As soon as opened the 1oz bag of Honey Grahams (best by date of 12/17/19) I could smell a strange chemical smell. At first I thought maybe it was the sealant on the bag but after I ate one and it burned my throat I realized..something is terribly wrong with Teddy Grahams!! Please take these off the market until this is corrected!!
I've been reading that others had this experience but that Nabisco has addressed it. They have not addressed it. It is April, 2019. I have now had two consecutive boxes of Nabisco Honey Maid grams bought from CostCo that smell like paint thinner and are virtually inedible. As soon as the box was opened the foul odor filled the room — no, the sell by date had not expired. I will no longer buy this product from Nabisco. There are other graham crackers out there. I have chosen to switch to Trader Joe's.
Apparently Quality Control Issues or Just dirty workspaces. I just opened a box of what is supposed to be regular Ritz Crackers. Surprise, surprise, they decided to indiscriminately put globs of peanut butter on some of the crackers - not even sandwich style - just peanut butter here and there. Evidently they were packaged on a working space that had not been cleaned. Shame on you. I hope no one who has a peanut allergy gets a hold of these.
It has been several years since I bought these crackers and I had a flashback of how good and tasty they once were. WOW!!! was I disappointed and heartbroken when I saw and tasted these fake impostors that are now called Honey Maid Cinnamon Graham Crackers. What in the world did you people do to the REAL sugar cinnamon graham crackers. IT looks and tastes like you used the cardboard box to impersonate the REAL honest to goodness old fashioned Sugar Cinnamon graham crackers. They used to be LOADED with brown sugar and LOTS of cinnamon. Please I beg of you to release the REAL sugar cinnamon graham crackers from their cell. I'm willing to pay a little extra for the genuine real, bring back my good memories, REAL sugar cinnamon graham crackers!!!
I was hoping to find an email so I could send a picture of just one of the many many packages of Honey Graham Crackers. But after reading so many of the other reviews you already know what the problem is. If I could get ONE entire cracker out of a box it should be declared a national holiday! I have been eating these graham crackers for almost 70 years. Now they are nothing but pure crap!
I purchased a 10 oz. package of Fig Newton Fat Free cookies. Upon opening, several cookies were smashed upon each other, rather than in orderly rows. Very disappointed in the lack of quality control. I have gotten used to smaller amounts, but damaged product is intolerable.
In the past, we have bought Nabisco products often, usually Chips Ahoy, graham crackers and Teddy Grahams. We are extremely disappointed with the new (?) products. It appears you are now using whole grain and no high fructose corn syrup. The product is probably healthier now but it is tasteless, similar to sawdust. I feel you will be losing a lot of customers because now your products are a waste of money. Please reconsider your decision and go back to the old recipe.
Last 4 boxes of Cinnamon Grahams have only regular grahams in grahams in the box. What is going on? What more do you want me to write. I want the cinnamon grahams back. I like the cinnamon grahams better.
The back of the Honey Maid graham cracker box shows a picture of a perfectly made s’more, with the tagline, “Create Wholesome Moments”. I’d like to know what brand of graham cracker they used to make it. It sure wasn’t Nabisco. The simple act of removing a pack from this box was enough to break every single cracker in all the wrong places. I had noticed that they broke more easily the last time I bought them, which was several years ago. But now they are noticeable thinner and basically useless for s’mores. I’m afraid there was nothing wholesome about the moment created by this pile of broken pieces I’m left with. Yes, I cursed. I wanted a s’more.
Excellent product. Potential to carve out a good portion of potato chip (Ruffles, Doritos) market. Prior, Nabisco may consider upping content to at least 6 oz. Both myself and my wife were quite impressed with Good Thins, the rice one - Veggie blend.
I don't know what the Nabisco Company is thinking. Would they like to lose customers? I am thinking they are hoping to do just that because the Honey Maid (by the way is supposed to be spelled Made) Graham Crackers are smaller, blander, and without the flavor they had in the 80s and 90s when I was a kid. What happened, do they make these with the wrong recipe? Even the Cinnamon Grahams don't even have cinnamon on them at all! What is it, a thin layer of warehouse dust? If you are looking at these reviews, Nabisco, whatever changed in the last 15, 20 years to your Graham Crackers was a serious business mistake. I would re-think what you did and not do it because your brand is suffering. I will not even use these for my pies anymore because something seems like it is missing from the cracker.
Taste and smell overwhelmingly like rancid oil! Shame on you Nabisco!!! Just trash and worse than horrible! What has happened? Had given these to my kids and grandkids for years - not fit for even animals now!
Over the holidays I purchased 2 large boxes of graham crackers for baking and treat making. I was sooo disappointed when I opened the first box. They don't look, taste, or smell like the grahams I have always used and snacked on. I might as well have put sawdust in my treats. C'mon Nabisco. Shameful! Can anyone share what product they are now using for good graham cracker taste?
All broken either in box or as soon as touched..not good for spreading anything on them as they fall apart. Yet when you bite them they are hard. I don’t ever remember Honey Graham’s doing that before. Won’t buy again.
These ginger snaps are hard as a rock, not enjoyable to eat, I'll feed the rest of them to my dog. That will be the last box I'll ever buy! This product should be taken off the self. This product is not fit for human consumption!
I REALLY hope you bring back the Heyday bar cookies. They were my favorite for years. Then they were gone. No warning or consumer notice or anything. I know many people will buy them because every time I mention them, people go into a euphoria of past memories. LISTEN UP NABISCO!!!
We purchased these at BJ’s in a bulk box and when they were opened the crackers have a strong chemical smell and taste the same. I see from other reviews that this is not only with the Nabisco graham crackers but also the Teddy grahams.
I have bought & used Ritz crackers for years. The last stack in the box & I discovered peanut butter on the edge of some of the crackers. Some in the middle of the stack & some in the bottom. Good thing I don’t have a peanut allergy or you could be facing a lawsuit. This is unacceptable & I may never purchase Ritz again.
Premium Saltine Crackers Expiration Date
I just bought a box of the Nabisco Teddy Graham's Outdoor Discoveries Honey flavor crackers the other day for my kids and when I opened the box I smelled a strong chemical smell instantly and they tasted exactly the way they smelled. I only tested one little cracker and it literally took an hour to get the taste out of my mouth. I'm not sure what happened in the factory when these were made but there must have been a big mistake because these were horrible and now I am scared I am going to get sick or worse just from that one tiny cracker I tasted. That's how bad the smell and taste was. I already deal with anxiety and OCD especially when it comes to my kids and their safety. I will NEVER buy Nabisco brand again. Which is extremely disappointing because I have 3 small kids that love graham crackers and it was a great easy snack but after this experience I'm done. Nabisco will probably lose a lot of customers due to this mishap.
Went to open a snack size Teddy Grahams and popped one in my mouth and immediately started to feel like I was choking and gagging. The expiry date was not passed yet, had 5 days left. The entire bag smelled like paint thinner, I immediately vomited. I have 3 children and I will never purchase products from this company again for their lunches after what I endured tonight. I still can’t get the taste out of my teeth and it’s tainted every drink I’ve tried to rinse through my mouth from the experience. Something is seriously wrong with this company's integrity in their recipe.
I’ve bought these graham crackers for some time to make s’mores but have noticed in recent months that many are broken when I open the pack. It’s not such a problem if eating them plain but a major nonstarter for s’mores which are messy enough to eat even whole. I noticed an earlier post that asserts Nabisco has decreased the amount of crackers such that they fit more loosely in the box and are prone to rattle around and break. I suspect this is the reason as I’ve also noticed I have to buy them more frequently. I’ll be looking for another brand in the future (or giving up s’mores). This is a sad development for such a time honored snack!
In the past I always purchased these cookies to make my Christmas cookie log. I bought three boxes, in the amount of $17 and change and went through all the work of making three logs as gifts. They were not edible. The cookies were disgusting. This not only happened to me but my friend in another area experienced the same problem. My tradition has ended. I was so embarrassed and humiliated.
I bought a box of Good Thins White Cheddar flavor. They are burned! I have purchased this product in the past and love them. This particular box, however, the crackers are burned and taste terrible. I want a replacement box!
I purchased a box of cookies last week and they were burned. They were much darker and you could tell the difference in the cookies from previous purchase. So what is going on? Maybe just a bad batch. BG
Warriors orochi 3 ultimate unlock characters ps4. No longer loved by my 3 kids thanks to new recipe with that whole wheat. I tried it myself. Disgusting and I'm disappointed because it's not even cheap. Costing me over $4 per box and now they are so brittle they make crumbs everywhere. Sad to see a cookie I ate in my own childhood decline like this.

A saltine or soda cracker is a thin, usually square cracker made from white flour, yeast, and baking soda, with most varieties lightly sprinkled with coarse salt. It has perforations over its surface, as well as a distinctively dry and crisp texture.
Canon picture style editor download. Some familiar brand names of saltine crackers in North America are Christie's Premium Plus (Canada), Nabisco's Premium (U.S.), Sunshine Biscuits' Krispy (U.S.), Keebler's Zesta (U.S.) (both owned by Kellogg's), and Noel's Saltín (Colombia). Unsalted tops as well as whole grain saltines can also be found.
Uses[edit]
Saltines are commonly eaten as a light snack, often with cheese, butter, peanut butter or other spreads. They may also be dipped or crumbled in soups, chilis, stews, and eaten with, or crumbled into salads. Typically they are sold in boxes containing two to four stacks of crackers, each wrapped in a sleeve of waxed paper or plastic. In restaurants, they are found in small wrapped plastic packets of two crackers, which generally accompany soup or salad. Cracker meal, a type of coarse to semi-fine flour made of crushed saltine crackers, may be used as toppings for various dishes; breading for fried or baked poultry, fish or red meats; or as a thickener for meatloaf soups, stews, sauces, and chilis.
As a home remedy, saltines are consumed by many people in order to ease nausea and to settle an upset stomach. Saltine crackers have also been frequently included in military field rations (Meal, Ready-to-Eat, or MRE) in the United States. For some children in parts of the eastern United States, Saltines are traditionally eaten on Christmas Eve.
History[edit]
Soda crackers were described in 'The Young Housekeeper' by Alcott in 1838.[1]
In 1876, F. L. Sommer & Company of St. Joseph, Missouri started using baking soda to leaven its wafer thin cracker. Initially called the Premium Soda Cracker and later 'Saltines' because of the baking salt component, the invention quickly became popular and Sommer's business quadrupled within four years. That company merged with other companies to form American Biscuit Company in 1890 and then after further mergers became part of Nabisco in 1898.[2][3][4]
In the early 20th century, various companies in the United States began selling soda crackers in Puerto Rico and referred to them as 'Export Soda'. Rovira Biscuit Corp. of Puerto Rico also started selling their soda crackers with the same name. The term 'Export Soda' became a generic term in Puerto Rico for these crackers. In 1975 Keebler Co. was refused a trademark for the term because it was 'merely descriptive'.[5]
In the United States, Nabisco lost trademark protection after the term 'saltine' began to be used generically to refer to similar crackers (see generic trademark for how this occurs). The name 'saltine' had been placed in the Merriam Webster Dictionary in 1907 with a definition of 'a thin crisp cracker usually sprinkled with salt”.[6] In Australia, Arnott's Biscuits Holdings still holds a trademark on the name 'Saltine'.[7][8]
They were made in the United Kingdom by Huntley and Palmers, and also in Australia and New Zealand under the brand name Arnott's Salada.
Baking process[edit]
Saltines have been compared to hardtack, a simple unleavened cracker or biscuit made from flour, water, and sometimes salt. However, unlike hardtack, saltines include yeast as one of their ingredients. Soda crackers are a leavened bread that is allowed to rise for twenty to thirty hours. After the rise, alkaline soda is added to neutralize the excessive acidity produced by the action of the yeast. The dough is allowed to rest for three to four more hours, to relax the gluten, before being rolled in layers and then baked.
Flat saltine crackers have perforations on their surfaces. During baking, the outer layer of dough hardens first, restricting out-gassing of evolved gasses. The perforations connect the top surface to the bottom surface to prevent the cracker from pillowing as a result of these evolved gasses.
