Ritz Cracker Recall Over Peanut Allergy Risk

Mondelēz Global LLC has issued a voluntary nationwide recall of select Ritz Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches due to a packaging error that mislabeled some individually wrapped peanut butter sandwiches as 'cheese' flavor, posing a life-threatening risk to people with peanut allergies. The recall affects specific 8-pack, 20-pack, and 40-pack cartons, as well as the 20-pack Ritz Filled Cracker Sandwich Variety Pack, with certain best-by dates from November 2025 to January 2026. Although the outer cartons are correctly labeled with allergen warnings, the mislabeling on individual packs could mislead consumers. The affected products were distributed nationwide in major retailers. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the issue is attributed to a supplier packaging error. Mondelēz and the FDA advise those with peanut allergies to check UPC codes and best-by dates, and corrective measures are being implemented to prevent future occurrences.
