A series of voluntary recalls affecting popular household brands and pet food products were announced lastweek, prompting renewed calls for consumers to check their pantries and freezers. While no illnesses or injuries have been reported in any of the three cases, companies say they are acting out of an abundance of caution.
Mondelz Global LLC issued a recall for 70 cases of RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches distributed to retailers in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Alabama.
The affected productslimited to a single SKU and two code dates previously involved in a July recallmay contain peanut butter crackers in packages incorrectly labeled as the cheese variety. Because peanuts are a major food allergen, the error could lead to serious or life-threatening reactions in people with peanut allergies.
All outer cartons are correctly labeled with a contains peanuts advisory, the company said. Only the 27.6 oz., 20-count carton with plant code AE and Best When Used By dates 8 JAN 26 and 15 JAN 26 is included.
Mondelz said the mix-up occurred when 70 cases were inadvertently shipped to retailers. No illnesses have been reported, and corrective actions are underway. Consumers with a peanut allergy are urged not to eat the product and may contact the company at 1-844-366-1171.
