Ritz Crackers and Cheese Bits

Ritz is one of the most recognizable snack brands globally, originally introduced by Nabisco in 1934 in the United States. The brand was developed as a high-quality yet affordable snack during the Great Depression, designed to provide a sense of luxury to consumers. Over the decades, it has expanded its product line from the classic round buttery cracker to include various flavors, sandwich crackers, and bite-sized snacks like the 'Cheese Bits' seen in the image.

Today, Ritz is owned by Mondelēz International, a multinational confectionery, food, and beverage conglomerate. The products are manufactured in several locations worldwide to serve different regional markets. In North America, the product is often sold under the Christie brand name in Canada, while remaining under the Nabisco banner in the USA, both of which are subsidiaries of Mondelēz. Production facilities are located in countries including the United States, Canada, and Mexico, among others, depending on the specific product line and target market.
