Some organic crispbreads and biscuits are because they may be contaminated with moth larvae - caterpillar-like pests.
Daylesford Organic says its rye, spelt and raisin crispbreads (120g) and savoury biscuit selection (360g and 960g) are affected.
It comes a month after Tesco recalled a batch of Christmas stuffing mix because of moths.
Consumers who have the products should throw them away.
Full refunds
They are unsafe to eat, the Food Standards Agency says, and are being removed from sale.
Daylesford Organic says stores will provide full refunds.
Moths sometimes settle on grain used to make foods.
Any eggs laid can then hatch days or weeks later.
Food Standards Agency's Head of Incidents, Rajwinder Ubhi said: "Daylesford Organic Rye, Spelt & Raisin Crispbreads and Savoury Biscuit Selection have been recalled by the business because the Crispbreads have been contaminated by moth larvae, making the products unsafe to eat.
"Consumers should follow the advice in the published and contact Daylesford Organic directly if they have purchased the product."
