Ritz Cracker Recall: Undeclared Peanut Butter Poses Allergy Risk

Mondelēz Global LLC initiated the recall after discovering that some Ritz Cracker Sandwiches containing peanut butter were mislabeled as cheese crackers. The outer cartons are correctly labeled with an allergen advisory, but the individual packs inside may not be. This error stems from defective film packaging rolls provided by a supplier.

The recall affects products sold nationwide in retail stores. Consumers with peanut allergies are advised to avoid consuming the recalled products and discard them immediately or return them to the store for a refund. No other Ritz products or Mondelez Global LLC items are included in this recall.
