Overview

  • The recall remains active for eight-, 20- and 40-pack cartons of Ritz Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches plus a 20-pack variety pack, all manufactured in the U.S. and distributed nationwide.
  • While outer cartons correctly list peanuts, inner wrappers in affected packs may be mislabeled as cheese, risking life-threatening allergic reactions for peanut-sensitive individuals.
  • Mondelēz Global LLC voluntarily initiated the recall on July 8 after discovering defects in supplier film packaging and has begun corrective actions to ensure label accuracy.
  • The FDA published an alert the same day detailing UPCs, plant codes and best-by dates and advising consumers with peanut allergies to discard the products.
  • No injuries have been reported, and consumers can contact Mondelēz via its 24/7 hotline at 1-844-366-1171 for more information or refunds.
