Ritz Crackers

Ritz Crackers is a globally recognized brand of savory biscuits, famous for its distinct buttery taste and flaky texture. The brand was first introduced by the National Biscuit Company (Nabisco) in the United States in 1934. Developed during the Great Depression, Ritz were marketed as an affordable luxury, designed to offer consumers a "bite of the good life" at a time of economic hardship.

Today, Ritz is owned by Mondelēz International, which became the brand's ultimate owner following its spin-off from Kraft Foods in 2012. While the brand has deep American roots and maintains significant production in the U.S. (notably in facilities in Virginia, Oregon, and beyond), it is manufactured in numerous locations worldwide to serve different regional markets. This includes production sites in China (serving Australia and Asia), Mexico, Peru, and various European hubs. As of 2026, Ritz remains a flagship "power brand" for Mondelēz, continuing to innovate with limited-edition releases and themed shapes tied to major global events like the FIFA World Cup.
