Overview

  • The recall covers specific 8-pack, 20-pack, 40-pack and 20-pack variety-pack Ritz Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwich cartons sold across the United States.
  • Mondelez traced the mislabeling to a defect in the supplier’s packaging film that caused some inner wrappers marked as cheese to contain peanut butter.
  • The FDA’s alert emphasizes that all outer cartons accurately list peanuts and that no allergic reactions have emerged since the recall began.
  • Consumers can consult the FDA’s chart of best-by dates and UPC codes to identify and safely dispose of affected products.
  • Mondelez and its packaging partner are implementing corrective measures to prevent future mislabeling errors
