Ritz cracker sandwiches urgently recalled over potentially ‘life-threatening' error
(WJW) – The manufacturer of Ritz cracker sandwiches has issued an urgent recall due to a labeling error that could cause a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction. Ohio Sam's Club has wrong gasoline in pump, causing vehicle issues for customers Mondelēz Global LLC is voluntarily recalling certain cartons of Ritz cracker sandwiches, as seen in a notice posted to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website. The cartons contain individually wrapped packs of Ritz sandwiches. But the packs themselves may identify the Ritz sandwiches as having a cheese filling, when they instead contain peanut butter filling. The recall alert explains that the larger, outer cartons that contain the individually wrapped packs are indeed labeled correctly, with language specifying the correct peanut butter sandwiches contained within, as well as an allergen warning. The individually wrapped packs, on the other hand, may not carry that information. 'People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts may risk serious or life-threatening allergic reactions by consuming this product,' reads the alert. Mattel introduces first Barbie with type 1 diabetes Mondelēz Global LLC said the issue stems from a 'supplier error' concerning the packaging for the individually wrapped packs. 'Corrective actions are being taken to help ensure this issue does not recur,' states the recall alert. The recalled cracker sandwiches were sold nationwide.

Ritz cracker products recalled from Walmart, Target and other stores nationwide
Boxes of Ritz Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches have been recalled from retail stores nationwide, including Walmart stores in 50 states and Puerto Rico and Target stores. The problem described in Mondelēz Global's recall notice sounds like a simple oopsy — individual six-packs of Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches in wrapping for Cheese Cracker Sandwiches — but can have horrible consequences. The cheese variety doesn't have peanuts, so incorrectly packed Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches won't have a warning about the presence of peanut, an allergen. As the notice states, 'People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts may risk serious or life-threatening allergic reactions by consuming this product.' No company knows that more than Mondelēz. The company via its Chips Ahoy! brand found itself in the middle of a angry storm in 2017 after a teenager with a peanut allergy didn't see a warning about peanuts on Chips Ahoy! packaging and died after accidentally eating a cookie with peanuts.

She was dead 90 minutes later The outer boxes of the Ritz Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches have the correct allergen advisory statement, but that's useless if the individual packs are emptied out of the boxes. Mondelēz's recall notice said it 'discovered that film packaging rolls used to package individually wrapped products containing peanut butter may contain defects due to a supplier error.' The boxes recalled: ▪ Ritz Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches, eight packs, best by Nov. 1, 2025, through Nov. 9, 2025, plant code 'AE.' ▪ Ritz Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches, 20 packs, best by Nov. 1, 2025, through Nov. 9, 2025 and Jan. 2, 2026, through Jan. 22, 2026, plant code 'AE.' ▪ Ritz Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches, 40 packs, best by Nov. 1, 2025, through Nov. 9, 2025, and Jan. 2, 2026, through Jan. 22, 2026, plant code 'AM.' ▪ Ritz Variety Pack, Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches and Cheese Sandwiches, 20 packs, best by Nov. 2, 2025, through Nov. 9, 2025, plant code 'RJ.' Questions about this recall should be directed to Mondelēz at 844-366-1171. That's a 24/7 number, but the company says its 'customer relations specialists' are on 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern time, Monday through Friday.
