Ritz peanut butter crackers recalled: Are your products affected?
Mondelez, Ritz’s parent company, is recalling select Ritz peanut butter cracker sandwiches due to a labeling error, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The affected batches, which were made in the U.S. and sold nationwide, are individually-wrapped packages incorrectly labeled as cheese cracker sandwiches even though the crackers could contain peanut butter.
No illnesses have been reported to date.
Consumers with peanut allergies should not eat the affected products and discard them.
