Earlier this month, Ritz Crackers maker Mondelez Global LLC issued its own warning along with the FDA after mislabeling packages of their individually wrapped peanut butter crackers as cheese crackers.
The company assured at the time there had been “no reports of injury or illness reported,” when confirming the July 8 recall but, considering 2 percent of the Western population suffers from severe peanut allergies, per the National Library of Medicine, there were “issuing this recall as a precaution.”
Of course, food recalls are nothing new. In 2023, Starbucks lovers were forewarned of possible glass fragments in over 25,000 cases—over 300,000 bottles—of the PepsiCo brand’s bottled Frappuccino beverages, and subsequently removed them from grocery stores.
