I noticed that these crackers tasted awful months ago. Thought that I had a bad box. After some searching, I found out that the company now outsources this to plants in Mexico. Per other complaints on this page and others, there are strange chemical tastes and even foreign objects in the crackers. I'm searching for brands in natural food stores, that are made in the states, or will try Keebler (even though I suspect hose are made abroad, as well). Honestly, how does one mess up something as simple as a basic saltine cracker!?
