  • Mondelēz Global LLC has issued an urgent recall for several RITZ cracker sandwich products due to a critical labeling error.
  • Some individually wrapped peanut butter cracker packs were mistakenly labeled as cheese, posing a serious risk to individuals with peanut allergies.
  • The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns that consuming these mislabeled products could trigger severe or life-threatening allergic reactions.
  • The recall affects specific 8-pack, 20-pack, and 40-pack cartons of peanut butter cracker sandwiches, as well as the 20-pack RITZ Filled Cracker Sandwich Variety Pack, produced with certain plant codes and best-by dates.
  • The error was attributed to defective film packaging from a supplier, and consumers with peanut allergies are advised to dispose of the affected products immediately.
