The Hawaii Department of Health has issued a recall alert for certain RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches made by Mondelēz Global LLC due to undeclared peanut allergens. Some packages labeled as cheese-flavored may actually contain peanut butter sandwiches. This mislabeling affects people with peanut allergies, according to the Hawaii State Department of Health.
The Hawaii Department of Health is alerting residents about a product recall involving RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches. The affected items include 8-count, 20-count, and 40-count cartons, as well as a 20-count variety pack with both cheese and peanut butter-flavored sandwiches. Although the outer packaging is labeled correctly, the individual packs inside are not. These products were widely distributed in supermarkets and retailers across the islands. Inspectors from the Food and Drug Branch are working to remove the recalled items from store shelves.
Mondelēz Global LLC recalled certain products due to undeclared peanuts, which can cause allergic reactions. No related illnesses have been reported.
