# Major Recall Alert: Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches Recalled Due to Undeclared Allergen – Peanut
If you or a loved one suffers from a peanut allergy, this recent recall could impact your grocery purchases. Mondelēz Global LLC has announced a voluntary recall of specific Ritz Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwich products due to the risk of an undeclared peanut allergen, potentially putting consumers with sensitivities at serious risk. Whether you’re buying for yourself or your family, being aware of this recall can make all the difference in staying safe.

## Why This Recall is Important
Undeclared allergens, such as peanuts, are among the most common causes of life-threatening reactions for allergy sufferers. The affected Ritz Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches are at the center of this recall because some individually wrapped packs were incorrectly labeled. While the outer carton labels clearly state the presence of peanuts as required, certain internal wrappers are mismarked as containing cheese sandwiches instead of peanut butter.
This labeling issue was discovered due to a supplier error in the packaging process. Although no injuries or illnesses have yet been reported, Mondelēz Global LLC is issuing this recall as a safety precaution.
Without proper labeling, individuals with peanut allergies could unknowingly consume these products, potentially resulting in a severe or life-threatening allergic reaction.
