Farmfoods Recalls Ritz Cheese Sandwich Crackers for Allergen Labelling Issues
WHO: Farmfoods and Ritz
WHAT: Product recall of Ritz Cheese Sandwich crackers due to inadequate allergen labelling.
WHERE: Farmfoods stores across the UK.
WHEN: Alert issued 12 February 2026.
WHY: The label does not clearly emphasise milk, soya, or wheat (gluten).
A new Farmfoods-Allergy-Alert warns that Ritz crackers may pose a serious health risk to allergy sufferers.
Product Details and the Farmfoods-Allergy-Alert
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has confirmed that Farmfoods is pulling Ritz Cheese Sandwich crackers from its shelves. The recall applies specifically to the 91g pack size. Crucially, this alert affects all batch codes for the product originating from Indonesia.
The FSA states the product contains milk, soya, and wheat (gluten). These ingredients are not emphasised on the label, which violates UK food safety regulations. This makes the crackers a health risk for those with specific intolerances or coeliac disease.
Consumer Advice and Action to Take
Shoppers who have purchased the 91g Ritz Cheese Sandwich should check their cupboards immediately. If you have an allergy or intolerance to milk, soya, or wheat, do not consume the product. Instead, return the item to your local Farmfoods store to receive a full refund.
Farmfoods has confirmed that no other Ritz products are affected by this specific recall. Retail stores will display point-of-sale notices to inform customers of the risks. For further support, customers can contact Farmfoods Customer Services on 0121 700 7160.
The FSA issues these alerts when food labelling is incorrect or missing vital safety data. Correcting these errors is essential to prevent severe allergic reactions or anaphylaxis in vulnerable consumers. Always check the "Best Before" dates and batch codes provided by the retailer in-store.
