Why Are Ritz Crackers Being Recalled?
While no allergic reactions have been reported, the recalled product may contain milk, which is not listed on the label. For individuals with dairy allergies, consuming these crackers could trigger a severe allergic reaction, including anaphylaxis.
Symptoms of a severe allergic reaction to dairy may include:
Hives
Nausea or vomiting
Abdominal pain or diarrhea
Tightness in the throat
Difficulty breathing
Cardiac arrest
If you or someone else experiences symptoms of anaphylaxis, call 911 immediately.
