Ritz cracker snacks recalled over allergy concern
RITZ crackers production company, Mondelez Global, announced today a voluntary recall of a limited quantity of RITZ Cheese Cracker Sandwiches Family Size (21.6 oz. carton) product.
This recall is being conducted because the outer packaging indicates that the product is Cheese variety, while the individually-wrapped product contained in the package is Peanut Butter variety.
The outer carton does, however, provide an allergen advisory statement indicating that the product “May contain peanuts.”
In addition, the inner package contains 16, 1.35oz. individually-wrapped six-cracker sandwiches that are properly labeled as RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches and declare peanut as an ingredient.
People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanut may risk serious or life-threatening allergic reactions by consuming this product.
This recall is limited exclusively to the RITZ Cheese Cracker Sandwiches Family Size (21.6 oz. carton) product with Best When Used By Dates listed in the grid below.
No other RITZ products, Mondelez Global products are affected by this recall.
Consumers who have this product should discard any product they may have.
