Ritz The Original Cracker

Ritz Crackers is an iconic American brand of snack crackers originally introduced by the Nabisco company in 1934. The brand was developed during the Great Depression as an affordable luxury, meant to offer consumers a sense of high-end quality at a accessible price point. Its distinctive circular shape, scalloped edges, and buttery flavor profile quickly made it one of the most popular snack brands in the United States and eventually the world.

Today, Ritz is owned by Mondelēz International, a global confectionery and snack food giant that emerged after the spin-off of Kraft Foods. The product is manufactured in multiple locations worldwide to serve different regional markets. In North America, production is primarily handled at various Mondelēz bakeries across the United States and Mexico, while international versions are produced in regional facilities to maintain local distribution efficiency and freshness.
