Mondelēz recalls Ritz cracker sandwiches over labeling error

ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS STORY

EAST HANOVER, N.J., July 8, 2025 – Mondelēz Global LLC has announced a voluntary recall of certain RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches due to a labeling error. The recall affects four carton sizes: the 8-pack, 20-pack, and 40-pack cartons of RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches, as well as the 20-pack RITZ Filled Cracker Sandwich Variety Pack carton. These products were manufactured in the United States and sold nationwide.

The issue arises from individually wrapped packs that may be mislabeled as Cheese variety while containing Peanut Butter crackers. This mislabeling poses a risk for individuals with peanut allergies or severe sensitivities who could experience serious allergic reactions if they consume these products.

Despite the mislabeling on individual packs, all outer cartons are correctly labeled with an allergen advisory statement indicating that the product “contains peanuts.” The recall is limited to specific cartons with Best When Used By Dates listed in an accompanying grid available at retail stores. No other RITZ or Mondelēz Global LLC products are involved in this recall.

There have been no reports of injury or illness related to this product thus far. The recall is precautionary following the discovery by Mondelēz Global LLC that film packaging rolls used for wrapping may contain defects due to a supplier error. Measures are being taken to prevent recurrence of this issue.

Consumers with peanut allergies should not consume these products and are advised to discard any affected items. For more information about the recall, consumers can contact Mondelēz Global LLC at 1-844-366-1171, available 24/7. Consumer Relations specialists are also accessible Monday through Friday from 9 am to 6 pm ET.

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

Mondelēz International operates globally in over 150 countries and reported net revenues of approximately $36.4 billion in 2024. The company manages well-known brands such as OREO, RITZ, LU, CLIF BAR, TATE’S BAKE SHOP biscuits and baked snacks, CADBURY DAIRY MILK, MILKA, and TOBLERONE chocolate.
