Christie Ritz Original Crackers

Ritz crackers are a global snacking icon, originally introduced in the United States by the Nabisco company in 1934. In Canada, the brand is famously associated with the Christie name, reflecting the legacy of William Mellis Christie and the Christie, Brown & Co. bakery. The packaging shown features French labeling ('originaux') and the 'Préparé au Canada' (Prepared in Canada) maple leaf logo, signifying its local production for the Canadian market.

Today, the Ritz brand is part of the global snacking giant Mondelēz International. Mondelēz was formed in 2012 following the spin-off of Kraft Foods' North American grocery business. While the brand has American roots, the Christie-branded Ritz crackers are a staple of Canadian pantries, manufactured in local facilities to serve the domestic market under the stewardship of Mondelēz Canada.
