My Crunchmaster product tastes off or different. Why?
We made some changes to make our crackers even tastier!
In September 2021 we switched from using safflower oil to olive oil on our Crunchmaster Multi-Seed, Multi-Grain, Grain-Free, and Multi-Grain 5 Seed crackers. We switched from using safflower oil to include a more premium oil in our products that still provides the same taste and crunch you love! This change comes from over two years of development and consumer testing to improve the overall liking of our Crunchmaster crackers, with olive oil being preferred.
Additionally, in September 2021 our Multi-Grain Sea Salt, Aged White Cheddar, and Garden Vegetable crackers no longer contain millet or quinoa seeds. This change comes from years of development and repeated consumer testing to improve the overall liking and taste of our Crunchmaster Multi-Grain crackers, with the new recipe being preferred by consumers like you.
How are Crunchmaster crackers made?
Great question! Crunchmaster products are made with a traditional rice cracker technology from Japan called “Usuyaki.” We start with pure, USA grown rice, add inclusions (like seeds), dry them to a precise moisture, bake them to perfection, and lightly coat them with a touch of heart-healthy olive oil and the highest quality seasonings.
Are Crunchmaster products baked in the USA?
We are proud to say Crunchmaster cracker products are baked in the USA and made with globally sourced ingredients. Our Crunchmaster Rice Poppers products are made in Japan. To view our full line of products, nutritional facts and ingredients, please visit: https://crunchmaster.com/products

Crunchmaster products, when unopened, are best if served before 10 months from the production date. You can find the “best before” date printed on each package. For our stand-up retail packages, you will locate the Best Before date printed on the bottom of the bag. For our Club bag-in-box products, the Best Before date is printed on the foil package or top seal. To keep Crunchmaster products fresh after opening, keep them in an airtight container in a dry, cool environment. Crunchmaster products can also be frozen to maintain maximum freshness. Simply thaw them for 15 minutes prior to serving.
Why do my crackers have a fishy taste?
It happens rarely, but it does occur when flax seeds enter the end of its shelf life.
I have Celiac disease and I think I had a negative reaction to your product. What should I do?
We’re sorry to hear you’re having health concerns. All our products are Certified Gluten-Free, and we test every production run for the presence of gluten or to confirm the absence of gluten to ensure the highest standards of purity.

Is Crunchmaster packaging recyclable?
Our club box is made from 100% recycled paperboard and is recyclable, but our resealable pouch packaging is not recyclable. For our club bag-in-box items, the box itself is recyclable but the foil bags are not. The packaging keeps the products fresh longer than other options. We are always looking for new ways to improve our packaging and hopefully we will be able to make a transition in the future.
