The bacon—sold nationwide, including at Walmart—carries "use by" dates from July 18 to Sept 4 and lot codes RS19, RS40 or RS42. No illnesses have been reported, but shoppers are urged to throw out or return the product. July 8 — RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches (Mondelēz) Mondelēz voluntarily recalled select 8-, 20- and 40-count cartons of RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches—and a variety pack—because some individual packs were mis-wrapped in "Cheese" film, hiding the peanut allergen inside.

July 10 — Lewis Bake Shop Artisan Style Half-Loaf (Hartford Bakery) Hartford Bakery yanked six lots of its Lewis Bake Shop Artisan Style Half-Loaf bread after visible hazelnuts turned up in packaging that failed to disclose the tree-nut ingredient.

July 14 — YoCrunch Yogurts (Danone U.S.) Danone recalled all flavors and sizes of its YoCrunch yogurt line after consumers found clear plastic shards—7 to 25 mm long—in the dome toppers. The nationwide recall, affecting multipacks and single 6-oz cups sold at Walmart and other chains, was issued over choking concerns. Consumers should discard the yogurts or seek a refund through YoCrunch's helpline. What People Are Saying Walmart says in a statement on its product recall webpage: "Walmart and Sam's Club are committed to the health and safety of our customers and members and to providing products that are safe and compliant, all supported by our health and wellness, product safety, and food safety professionals. In the event of a product recall, we work swiftly to block the item from being sold and remove it from our stores and clubs."

Urgent recall of RITZ crackers over 'life-threatening' health risk
Certain packages of RITZ crackers have been recalled in the US because they could cause some consumers to have 'life-threatening allergic reactions'. Mondelez Global LLC on Tuesday recalled four carton sizes of its RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches because they may contain an undeclared allergen. 'The affected cartons include individually wrapped packs that may be incorrectly labeled as Cheese variety even though the product may be a Peanut Butter variety,' stated a company announcement published by the nation's agency responsible for protecting the public health. 'People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts may risk serious or life-threatening allergic reactions by consuming this product.' All of the affected products came in outer cartons that were correctly labeled with an advisory stating, 'contains peanuts'. Cartons with possibly incorrectly labeled individual wrapping include 8-pack, 20-pack and 40-pack cartons of RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches and 20-pack cartons of RITZ Filled Cracker Sandwich Variety Pack. The best when used by dates range from November 1, 2025 to January 22, 2026. They were sold nationwide. Mondelez Global LLC found that film packaging rolls used to individually wrap the products with peanut butter could have defects because of an oversight from a supplier.

There were no labeling mistakes on cartons of RITZ Cheese Cracker Sandwiches. More Trending As of Tuesday, there were no reports of consumers getting sick from the crackers.

FDA issues urgent recall of Ritz crackers over fatal ingredient
Parents are being warned to exercise caution with RITZ Crackers over fears that a labeling error could cause a potentially deadly reaction. The FDA has issued a recall for four carton sizes of RITZ Cracker Sandwiches — two RITZ Crackers with a filling — after it was revealed that some peanut butter sandwiches had been mislabeled as cheese sandwiches. This is a serious risk to the 3million peanut butter allergy sufferers in the US who may unknowingly consume the crackers and be at risk of 'serious or life-threatening allergic reactions'. The FDA said the affected sandwiches were sold nationwide, with RITZ Crackers carried by many top stores, including Target, CVS and Dollar General. The labeling issue was detected for cartons that contain eight, 20 or 40 individually wrapped packs of Ritz sandwiches. All affected cartons warn of the presence of peanuts on the outside, but inside, in some cases, individually wrapped packs have been incorrectly labeled. There have been no reports of injuries or adverse events to date, with officials saying they've announced the recall as a precaution. Customers who have a peanut allergy are advised not to eat the products and to discard any that may be affected. Products in the recall are a 20-pack of RITZ Filled Cracker Sandwich Variety that contains 10 cheese and 10 peanut butter crackers. The recall also includes: A n 8-pack of RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches, a 20-pack of RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches, and a 40-pack of RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches. It is not clear exactly how many cartons of RITZ sandwiches are included in the recall. Affected cartons have a best-before date of up to January 2026, and customers have been advised to check the UPC code — next to the barcode — to find out if their carton is affected. The manufacturer, Mondelez Global, has blamed the issue on a supplier error for the incorrect labeling. This may suggest issues with printing labels that led some peanut butter RITZ sandwiches to be incorrectly labeled. In serious cases, people can suffer from anaphylaxis — a life-threatening condition where someone is left struggling to breathe because of constriction of the airways and swelling of the lips, tongue and throat. Less than four people die from the allergy every year in the US, according to the national food allergy death registry. It comes after RITZ was hit by a second recall in Canada in February this year due to an undeclared allergen. Original Mini Ritz Crackers sold in 200-gram resealable bags had to be recalled over the issue. It was found that these products may contain undeclared milk, which can also cause an allergic reaction in people, causing a breakout in hives or a rash.
