Overview
- The recall covers 8-, 20- and 40-count cartons of Ritz Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches and the 20-pack Ritz Filled Cracker Sandwich Variety Pack after a supplier film packaging defect mislabeled inner wrappers as cheese.
- Outer cartons correctly bear allergen advisories indicating peanuts, but individual packets lack warning labels, posing a life-threatening risk to those with peanut allergies.
- Mondelez initiated the voluntary nationwide recall in coordination with the FDA on July 8, and no allergic reactions or injuries have been reported.
- Affected products were manufactured in the United States and sold at retailers including Walmart, Target and other national outlets.
- Mondelez is working with the FDA to enact corrective actions and strengthen packaging quality controls to prevent future labeling errors.
