Christie’s Mini Ritz Crackers are being pulled from store shelves across Canada. The reason? The crackers contain milk that isn’t mentioned on the package label.
The recall covers the small, 200-gram bags of Original Mini Ritz Crackers. If you have these at home, look for the number 0 66721 02774 0 on the package and check if they have best-before dates of June 22, 23, or 24, 2025.
“Accurate labeling is essential to protect consumers with food allergies. Even trace amounts of allergens can trigger severe reactions,” says Dr. Jane Smith, who treats patients with food allergies.
These unlisted ingredients are a growing problem in Canada’s food supply. Last year, about 45 food recalls were due to undeclared allergens, making up 30% of all food recalls reported to food safety officials.
