Ritz cracker sandwiches urgently recalled over potentially ‘life-threatening' error

Yahoo10-07-2025
(WJW) – The manufacturer of Ritz cracker sandwiches has issued an urgent recall due to a labeling error that could cause a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction.
Ohio Sam's Club has wrong gasoline in pump, causing vehicle issues for customers
Mondelēz Global LLC is voluntarily recalling certain cartons of Ritz cracker sandwiches, as seen in a notice posted to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website. The cartons contain individually wrapped packs of Ritz sandwiches. But the packs themselves may identify the Ritz sandwiches as having a cheese filling, when they instead contain peanut butter filling.
The recall alert explains that the larger, outer cartons that contain the individually wrapped packs are indeed labeled correctly, with language specifying the correct peanut butter sandwiches contained within, as well as an allergen warning.
The individually wrapped packs, on the other hand, may not carry that information.
'People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts may risk serious or life-threatening allergic reactions by consuming this product,' reads the alert.

Mondelēz Global LLC said the issue stems from a 'supplier error' concerning the packaging for the individually wrapped packs.
'Corrective actions are being taken to help ensure this issue does not recur,' states the recall alert.
The recalled cracker sandwiches were sold nationwide. Here's what to check for:

There had been no reports of severe reactions as of Tuesday, according to Mondelēz.

Amazon unfairly shamed by buyers of embarrassing products

Shopping from the comfort of your own home, while sipping your favorite coffee, browsing quickly through items, comparing products and prices with just a few clicks. Time saving? Definitely. Convenient? You bet. In today's world, where the motto is "time is money," e-commerce plays an important part. It is no surprise that Amazon had such a significant impact on brick-and-mortar retail. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Some 25 years ago, Amazon made a key move for its growth, enabling third-party sellers to list their products on the platform. This way, the e-commerce retailer could reach a much wider audience. These sales have become the norm for the online retail giant. In the first quarter of 2024, 61 percent of Amazon sales were through third-party sellers, according to Statista. Amazon has expanded its operations and services markedly since its launch, and it constantly upgrades them. Recently it has heavily invested in artificial intelligence (AI), stressing the need to keep up with the pace of technology. Related: Amazon makes a clever move to handle a massive Prime Day In the first quarter of 2025, Amazon reported net sales 9.% higher than the same period last year, and a net income of $17 billion, which is nearly 40% higher than in the first quarter of 2024. In May this year, Amazon received 2.8 billion visits globally. The e-commerce giant employs 1.5 million people to manage its operations. To say that managing this kind of business is hard would be an understatement. That's why it's no surprise that sometimes mistakes happen, and other times, it might just be that customers are uniformed about all the options they have at their disposal. Image source:A recent Reddit thread revealed some issues consumers experienced when ordering on Amazon. More specifically, one user began a discussion by sharing that the company hid the name of the item ordered in the email body but not in the subject line. They sarcastically wrote, "Thanks, Amazon." Related: Walmart announces generous offers rivaling Target Why was the customer uncomfortable with the email's subject revealing their order? It was a toy for adults. Imagine that. Sometimes our emails are easily visible to those around us, when they flash on the phone, or if we are sharing our computers with others. We don't want everyone to see what we are shopping for. The post quickly resonated with many consumers, receiving around 40,000 upvotes and more than 600 comments from users sharing similar experiences. Another user replied sharing that her "postpartum adult diapers just got slapped on my doorstep in its full glory." Many people connected with this post, trying to cheer up the user by sharing that they all had to wear the same diapers, and there's nothing to feel ashamed about. More Retail: Parents should be more worried about Mattel's Barbie than everKraft Heinz issues major recall over food safety riskAmazon makes a clever move to handle a massive Prime Day While this is true, I sympathize with the woman who doesn't feel comfortable broadcasting to her neighbors that she needs postpartum diapers. It's personal - why should the world know? Wait, doesn't every package from Amazon come in a widely recognized Amazon box? When you order something on Amazon, if it comes from its warehouse, the item should be packed in an Amazon box. However, since the e-commerce giant has plenty of third-party sellers, their products do not come from Amazon's warehouse. Amazon works with many brands worldwide to optimize their packages, reducing materials use while ensuring safe delivery. Thanks to this and other efforts, the company has managed to reduce outbound packaging weight per shipment by 43% on average since 2015, which amounts to more than 3 million tons of packaging material. Related: Trader Joe's brings back beloved candy after recall, scandal Some customers don't know that there is an option to ask for shipping the product in an Amazon package instead of just the original one. Unless you choose this option and you are buying an item from a third-party seller, everyone will see what you've ordered. This way, Amazon is thinking about minimizing waste from unnecessary packaging, while also providing options for its customers to request discreet delivery when needed. While shipping in the Amazon package doesn't resolve the issue of the name of the item showing up in the email's subject line, that was probably just a mistake. Imagine the number of orders the company receives daily-about 12.87 million, or 8,937 per minute - it seems almost impossible that a mistake doesn't happen now and then.

J.D. Power: Prices are high, but so is guest satisfaction

Despite hotel room rates climbing to a near-record high of $158.67 in 2024, hotel guests across all price segments report feeling they're getting better value for their money, according to J.D. Power's 2025 North America Hotel Guest Satisfaction Index. The study found that guest perceptions of value increased across every segment, with upscale, midscale and economy properties showing the most significant year-over-year gains. This marks a notable change from the year prior, when satisfaction scores fell in the midscale and economy tiers. A key driver behind improved satisfaction appears to be hotels' investments in guestroom technology. When asked about which hotel amenities they consider a "need to have," 40% of guests selected smart TV streaming capabilities, up from 21% in 2019. Nearly three-quarters of guests indicated their room included a smart TV, with 60% reporting they used it during their stay. The study also revealed that capital investments in room furnishings, bathroom fixtures and bed comfort significantly boosted guest satisfaction scores year-over-year. Hotel mobile apps emerged as another satisfaction driver. Guests who downloaded their hotel's mobile app reported overall satisfaction scores 68 points higher than those who didn't use the app. Several repeat winners For 2025, Marriott International's Ritz-Carlton flag topped the luxury segment with a guest satisfaction score of 779, while Omni led upper-upscale properties at 731. Drury Hotels ranked highest in the upscale category with 738 points. Tru by Hilton dominated the midscale sector for the third straight year, and Microtel by Wyndham led the economy segment for the third consecutive year. In the extended-stay categories, Hyatt House continued its four-year winning streak in upscale extended stay, while Home2 Suites by Hilton claimed the top spot in upper-midscale/midscale extended-stay for the third consecutive year. Choice Hotels' WoodSpring Suites brand topped economy extended stay for the third year running.

T-Mobile surprises customers with a free cool summer treat

While you often hear that all mobile carriers are more or less the same, certain network operators have huge loyal customer bases who swear they are the best. What sets T-Mobile (TMUS) apart from the competition is its constant striving to improve and devise new offerings. Comments on public forums also reveal that some customers are particularly pleased with the company's prices, reception, speed, number of nearby locations, and special offers through its T-Mobile Tuesdays. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Over the last few months and maybe longer, the carrier has been dealing with customers' frustration over its series of price increases. In the first quarter of the year, T-Mobile revealed that the number of customers who cut their phone service increased by 5 basis points year-over-year. Further, the company disclosed 495,000 new postpaid customers during the first three months of the year, a number 6% lower than in the same period of last year, writes TheStreet's Patricia Battle. As the company continues to introduce new offers to win back frustrated customers, last month it celebrated nine years of giving customers more with T-Mobile Tuesdays. The carrier rolled out its special Tuesday offering back in 2016 to show customers its appreciation without any strings attached. In those nine years, T-Mobile provided more than 1.2 billion giveaways, and it continues to surprise. Soon, the carrier will be giving away a must-have summer essential. Many T-Mobile customers just love the company's freebies and discounts that are available every Tuesday. Sometimes, these include free meals, fuel perks, free DashPass, discounted movie tickets, or physical freebies. Now the Mobile Report reveals from an anonymous source that the carrier will offer free water bottles on an upcoming Tuesday. Related: T-Mobile, Apple may have a multibillion-dollar TikTok problem on their hands The timing for this freebie couldn't be better. Last month, New York's Central Park tied a record high of 96 degrees Fahrenheit, a temperature not seen since the year 1888, writes CNN Weather. What's more, the Southwest U.S. has been suffering with extreme heat. For example, in the last few weeks, there were only four days when the temperature didn't reach 100 degrees, reported CBS News. As summer heat waves burn across the country, it is extremely important to stay hydrated. T-Mobile's free bottles are stylishly black with the company logo at the bottom and brand-matching magenta-colored ring at the top. The bottle size is unknown, but these summer essentials contain a pop-out integrated straw and a spring-loaded lid.

To get it, you need to visit a corporate store. Over the last few months, T-Mobile has made several moves and offers to retain current customers and bring back previous ones. Last month it announced it will offer free DoorDash subscriptions, including free delivery, reduced service fees, exclusive offers on eligible orders, and rideshare partner discounts. A DashPass subscription typically costs $10 per month.

The new game-changing tech, T-Satellite, is set to go live on July 23, and it will run off of Starlink Satellite service. T-Satellite aims to solve the issue of cell phone dead zones by relying on Starlink as a cellphone tower in outer space, reports TheStreet's Christy Rakoczy. In more recent news, T-Mobile launched new deals for both new and existing customers for the devices that will be available in stores and online starting July 25. One of the deals includes buying a new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 or Galaxy Z Fold7, with $1,100 off when customers add a line or trade in a device on one of the phone carrier's Experience plans. Stay tuned as we keep you posted on new T-Mobile deals and offerings.
