Life-threatening Label Error Prompts Ritz Cracker Sandwich Recall in TX, LA

[KNGT-FM] -- We all know someone who has a very restricted diet, food allergies, and has to watch what they eat. Certain foods can make people sick due to their specific condition, or can just plain kill them if they have deadly allergies to certain foods.

Some of the most common food allergies people have include being allergic to seafood, nut or peanut allergies, and dairy allergies. If you have life-threatening food allergies, then you are going to want to be aware of this.

It has been announced that the company behind the Ritz crackers sandwiches, Mondelez Global LLC, is recalling certain packages of Ritz sandwich crackers due to a labeling error that has resulted in some of the crackers being mislabeled.
