We bought a big box of Saltines and were keeping them in the pantry in our basement. The sleeves of crackers were unopened. I had several of them with a can of sardines over a week ago, and something tasted off, but with the strong taste of the sardines I wasn't sure what.
Today when I was out my husband had a couple with peanut butter, and he couldn't eat them because they had a strong chemical odor. I brought the box upstairs when he told me, and they were over a year old, but still, they were just plain saltine crackers, they should have never smelled like chemicals/paint thinner....or???
Opened up two more sleeves and the smell was bad, had to put them in the trash in the garage so the kitchen wouldn't stink up. I never had a cracker smell like that. I looked around online and there were sooooo many complaints about bad chemical smelling saltines, dating back to 2009 and as late as 2017, but I found no site saying exactly why this rancid odor was there. Some people said their crackers were not expired, they were in good dates to eat.
Has anyone here had any bad smelling Saltines or any other type of Nabisco crackers that had to be tossed? Some people said they actually got physically sick from them. Won't be buying them anymore, I used to eat them as a kid, but they've lost their charm.
