A voluntary recall was initiated by the creator of Ritz crackers due to the product having a mislabeling error, which could pose a risk for those with peanut allergies.
Mondelēz Global LLC announced on Tuesday, July 8, that a recall was made for the 8-pack, 20-pack and 40-pack cartons of Ritz Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches and the 20-pack of Ritz Filled Crack Sandwich Variety Pack carton, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The affected cartons, which were manufactured in the United States and sold nationwide, are individually wrapped packs that may be incorrectly labeled as cheese variety even though the crackers could be a peanut butter variety.
“People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts may risk serious or life-threatening allergic reactions by consuming this product,” the FDA wrote in a statement.
All outer cartons affected are labeled correctly and provide an allergen advisory statement indicating that the product “contains peanuts.”
The recalled products are:

No reports of injury or illness have been reported to Mondēlez Global. However, consumers who have a peanut allergy are urged to toss the recalled crackers.
