On July 8, 2025, Mondelez Global LLC announced a voluntary recall affecting specific carton sizes of RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches due to a labeling error. This proactive measure highlights the company’s commitment to consumer safety, especially for individuals with food allergies.
What Products are Affected?
The recall affects the following carton sizes of RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches sold nationwide:
- 8-pack of RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches (11.4 oz.)
- 20-pack of RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches (27.6 oz.)
- 40-pack of RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches (55.2 oz.)
- 20-pack Variety Pack of RITZ Filled Cracker Sandwich (27.3 oz.), which includes both Cheese and Peanut Butter varieties.
Reason for Recall
The identified issue stems from a labeling error where the individually wrapped packs inside the cartons may be incorrectly labeled as Cheese variety, even though they may contain the Peanut Butter variety. This presents a significant risk for individuals with peanut allergies or those who experience severe sensitivity to peanuts, as consuming these incorrectly labeled products may lead to serious or potentially life-threatening allergic reactions.
Importantly, although the outer cartons are correctly labeled and include necessary allergen advisory statements indicating the presence of peanuts, those with allergies should exercise caution.
