A popular snack has been recalled by manufacturers due to potentially dangerous mislabeling.
Mondelēz Global LLC announced the voluntary recall of four carton sizes of Ritz Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches on July 8, 2025. While no reports of injury or illness had been reported at the time of the notice, the company issued the recall as a precaution, specifically pertaining to those with food allergies.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration posted the notice from Mondelēz on the agency website as a public service in order to spread the word about the potential hazards. Here’s everything we know about the recall.
Ritz cracker recall
The July 8 recall, unlike other recent food product recalls, was not issued due to contamination. Instead, Mondelēz issued the recall due to incorrect labeling. Individually wrapped packs of peanut butter crackers in the recalled batches may be incorrectly labeled as cheese, leading to serious potential risks for those allergic to peanuts.
Where were the recalled Ritz crackers sold?
The notice did not list specific locations, but noted that the crackers were sold countrywide.
Are Ritz crackers OK to eat?
For anyone without peanut butter allergies or sensitivities, the Ritz crackers are safe to eat despite mislabeling.
