sorted byAccording to Stacker.com, Ritz Crackers are banned in several European countries, such as Switzerland, Hungary, Iceland, Austria, Denmark, and Norway.
The reason why Ritz crackers were banned in parts of Europe is because they contained partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil, which added a small amount of trans fat to the crackers. However, this may be out-of-date news.
Trans fat is commonly regarded as the most dangerous kind of fat, increasing the risk for heart disease and other problems. And when you see “partially hydrogenated” oils in foods, these are often sources of trans fat.
Even when the food label says 0g trans fat, as it does with Ritz Crackers, there can still be a small amount of trans fat present. (If the total amount is less than 0.5g per serving, the food label is legally allowed to say 0g.) (source)
However, I want to add this note: Ritz’s recipe may have already changed in this regard.
Back in 2015, the FDA determined that partially hydrogenated oils are no longer Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) for human consumption. Since then, all food manufacturers in the US were ordered to remove these oils from their products.
The final compliance date for this transition was January 1, 2020. Therefore, logically speaking, there should no longer be any partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil in Ritz Crackers. If there is, I think they’d be in trouble with the FDA.
As of November 2021, the Ritz website still lists partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil as a possible ingredient for certain flavors.
That said, if you check the ingredients list on the Ritz box at your store, you may just see canola oil and palm oil listed instead. In that case, you shouldn’t have to worry about trans fat in your Ritz.
The possible trans fat in Ritz Crackers would specifically be coming from the “partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil.” So if you don’t see that in the ingredients list, you should be fine.
