Ritz Peanut Butter Cracker Recall Sparks Nationwide Warning
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Mondelēz Global LLC is recalling multiple carton sizes of Ritz peanut butter cracker sandwiches due to fears the product may be mislabeled. Newsweek reached out to the company via email Tuesday for comment. Why It Matters Numerous recalls have been initiated in 2025 due to the potential of damaged products, foodborne illness, contamination and undeclared food allergens. Millions of Americans experience food sensitivities or allergies every year. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the nine "major" food allergens in the U.S. are eggs, milk, fish, wheat, soybeans, Crustacean shellfish, sesame, tree nuts and peanuts. People with a sensitivity or allergy to peanuts may experience "serious or life-threatening allergic reactions" if they consume the recalled product, the FDA warns. Accidental ingestion can lead to anaphylaxis, a rapid and life-threatening allergic reaction that requires immediate medical intervention. Even trace amounts of peanuts can cause symptoms from hives and swelling to difficulty breathing and shock. What To Know In the alert, the FDA says the products were manufactured in the United States and sold nationwide. The Ritz Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches in eight-pack, 20-pack and 40-pack cartons as well as the 20-pack Ritz Filled Cracker Sandwich Variety Pack cartons are being recalled due to the possibility of the individually wrapped packages inside the carton potentially being labeled cheese, the FDA says. "All outer cartons affected are labeled correctly and provide an allergen advisory statement indicating that the product 'contains peanuts,'" the FDA notes. No other Mondelēz Global LLC products or Ritz products are impacted by the recall. In the alert, the FDA posted a chart with corresponding best if used by dates along with retail UPC numbers. The alert also has pictures of the affected products. Ritz cheese cracker sandwiches, peanut butter cracker sandwiches and Ritz filled cracker sandwich variety packs with different best by dates and UPC numbers are also not affected by the recall. There have been no reported illnesses or injuries as of Tuesday, the alert says. Mondelēz Global LLC reaffirms the recall was initiated as a precaution.

Corrective actions are being taken to help ensure this issue does not recur."
