RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches recalled due to labeling error

A nationwide voluntary recall has been issued on RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches (8-pack, 20-pack, and 40-pack) because the individually wrapped packs may be labeled incorrectly as Cheese variety even though the product may 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.

All outer cartons affected are labeled correctly and provide an allergen advisory statement indicating that the product “contains peanuts.”

This recall is exclusively for the 8-pack, 20-pack, and 40-pack RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwich cartons and the 20-pack RITZ Filled Cracker Sandwich Variety Pack carton, with Best When Used By Dates listed in the grid below, available at retail stores nationwide. No other RITZ products or Mondelēz Global LLC products are included in, or affected by, this recall.

The individually wrapped package incorrectly labeled as Cheese variety inside the cartons identified in the grid above may look like this:

Cartons containing only RITZ Cheese Cracker Sandwiches are not affected by this recall. In addition, cartons containing either RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches or RITZ Filled Cracker Sandwich Variety Pack with different Best When Used By Dates and Plant Codes than those listed in the above grid are also not affected by this recall.

There have been no reports of injury or illness reported to Mondelēz Global LLC to date related to this product, and we are issuing this recall as a precaution.

The recall was initiated after Mondelēz Global LLC discovered that film packaging rolls used to package individually wrapped products containing peanut butter may contain defects due to a supplier error. Corrective actions are being taken to help ensure this issue does not recur.

Consumers who have a peanut allergy should not eat these products and should discard any product identified in the grid above. Consumers can contact the company at 1-844-366-1171, 24 hours a day, 7 days per week to get more information about the recall. Consumer Relations specialists are also available Monday–Friday, 9 am to 6 pm ET.

This recall is being conducted with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
