DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) — Mondelēz Global LLC has issued a voluntary recall of 70 cases of RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches, some of which were shipped to retailers in Alabama, due to a packaging mix-up that could pose a serious risk to people with peanut allergies.
The recall affects 27.6-oz. RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches, 20-count cartons (20 x 1.38-oz. 6-pack cartons) with Retail UPC 44000 07584 2 and Best When Used By dates of Jan. 8, 2026, and Jan. 15, 2026. Only products with the “AE” plant code, located on the top of the package, are included.
According to the company, individually wrapped packs inside the carton may be mislabeled as the cheese variety even though the product is actually peanut butter. Anyone with a peanut allergy could face a serious or life-threatening reaction if the mislabeled crackers are consumed.
Mondelēz said all outer cartons were labeled correctly and noted that no other RITZ products are included in the recall. The issue was discovered after the 70 cases were inadvertently shipped to a limited number of stores in eight states: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Alabama.
No illnesses have been reported. The company said the recall is being conducted out of an abundance of caution and corrective actions are underway.
Consumers with peanut allergies are urged not to eat the affected product and to discard it immediately. For questions, the company can be reached at 1-844-366-1171 Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is aware of the recall.
