Key Facts
A total of 70 cases of the peanut butter cracker sandwiches have been recalled after individually wrapped packs “may” have been mislabeled as Ritz Cheese Cracker Sandwiches, the FDA said in a statement.
All outer cartons of the affected cases are labeled correctly with allergen information that says the product contains peanuts.
The products included in the recall are 20 pack units that contain six-piece sleeves and have “best when used by” dates of Jan. 8, 2026 and Jan. 15, 2026.
The items also have an “AE” plant code on top of the package.
Photos of the impacted units can be seen on the FDA’s website, which says they were available at a limited number of retail stores as of Nov. 28.
The cases were sold in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Alabama.
No injuries or illness were reported to Mondelēz Global, the parent company of Ritz, as of Nov. 28.
