While the outer cartons are correctly labeled with allergen statements indicating that the product 'contains peanuts,' the inner mislabeling could mislead consumers into believing the product is safe.
The company noted that only products with specific 'Best When Used By' dates and plant codes are included in the recall. Cartons containing only Ritz Cheese Cracker Sandwiches are not affected.
The affected products include:
11.4 oz. Ritz Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches (8-pack) with a retail UPC: 0 44000 88210 5 and 'Best By' dates of Nov. 1, 2025 to Nov. 9, 2025
