From what I understand (and I honestly don't remember if it was from a call I made myself or a post I read here), Ritz regular-size crackers are safe as long as the label does not list peanut as an ingredient. The mini-Ritz sandwich crackers will all have the peanut warning because the peanut-butter version of the sandwich crackers are made in the same facility as the other types. The regular size Ritz, however, are made in either a separate area or on separate lines.
Like all Nabisco products, I feel very confident in the ingredient list on the label and buy Ritz crackers for my PA son all the time. I just make sure to read the label each time I buy just to be on the safe side.
Hope this helps.

I just got off the phone with the Brehmer Biscuit Company (877.408.8204). They said that these crackers are produced in a nut-free facility.
They also mentioned that they are part of a larger company that also makes Bretton crackers. The Bretton crackers are produced at a different facility in the U.S. than the Brehmer crackers, and the only nut-type of allergen that the Bretton crackers come in contact with is sesame seeds, which they said will be clearly noted on the box.
They also said that the Bretton crackers produced in Canada *used to have a possible contact with sesame seeds (or nuts, I don't remember), but are now produced on dedicated lines.
They said that there are some other types of crackers they produce in the U.S. and in Canada, but I'm not sure I wrote down their names correctly (Cabaray? and Vintar?). I'll have to look for them in the store.
I found the customer service rep to be very helpful and she seemed very knowledgable about allergy issues.

Does anyone know if cheese-its or another brand like that cracker is safe? My husband is craving them and I won't bring them in the house unless I know they are totally safe.

My son's first real reactions were from a box of Cheese Nips. I couldn't figure out why he kept throwing up every day right after a snack in his high chair! On day 4, I put two and two together - along with a hive type reaction to toast with a tiny bit of peanut butter....
We buy "Toppables", Wheat Thins, Triscits, and some of the "President's Choice" brand crackers ( in Canada). Ritz are hit and miss, and we've finally given up on them.

I almost always buy the Walmart brand (Great Value) snack crackers. Never a problem.

My daughter eats Kroger brand Zips and wheat thins all the time...no problems.

Hi I am a new member and have been on the phone with this company and they seem to have products that would be safe to try. Have u used any since you posted this e-mail? Quote:Originally posted by yuck2nuts:
