That's actually common.

Nabisco probably does the same with the oils they use. The reason is our FDA. It's 100% corrupt. FDA executives all hop back and forth every few years between the FDA, global food corporations, and pharmaceutical corporations. It's why they approve things as "generally recognized as safe" that are so poisonous that they're banned in other countries, and why they intentionally create loopholes for their buddies---and for themselves, as they'll be back on the food or pharma corp payroll after a little while. Edit to add: The funny thing is, the vast majority of Americans will tell you that the FDA "keeps us safe!", and "if it was harmful the FDA wouldn't allow it", or "it must be safe because the FDA approved it! You're just a crazy theorist!" and they truly believe it. I imagine the FDA executives laugh all the way to the bank.
The report should have been clear. It it Ritz crackers that are banned in Norway or the unhealthy oil? It is possible that Norway and other countries has the crackers without the or has stricter limits as to how much crap they allow in foods. :"a May 2018 report from the World Health Organization, Austria, Denmark, Hungary, Iceland, and Norway "have set best practice mandatory limits of industrially-produced trans fat that apply to all foods"
Ritz underwent a major change in both flavor and texture when the wrapper for a “sleeve” changed from waxed paper to cellophane (initially clear but now light brown to imitate the wax paper). They used to be more firm and dense and could easily be split top from bottom. Now they are more … “buttery” but also more “crumbley” to the point that its difficult to use one as a scoop for medium stiff substances. When I was younger I called them more “cured” before the packaging change.
Maybe the wax paper breathed a little, so that just allowed the cracker to dry slowly. Try leaving them out with an open wrapper for a while maybe and see if that firms them up?
I hate it when they change the recipe for food i like, if it ain't broke don't fix it! Lately whenever a product says "new recipe" on the package you need to compare the old ingredients to the new ones because in every case the new ingredients are just cheaper and unhealthy! Knorr brand chicken bullion cubes used to be made with real chicken meat and it was actually high protein, low fat and sodium! I told my husband bouillon cubes just fat balls with salt 😂😂 but he said Knorr was healthy and it was. But suddenly when I checked the nutritional value and it wasn't! It had high salt, fat and sugar. The front of the box said "New Recipe" like it was better. 😓💀 Instead of meat they now use chicken SKIN, fat and bones and double the sodium & sugar! 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ The same ingredients as the cheapest brand of Chinese bouillon cubes but cost 3X as much!

I can remember in the 1970's a regular size box of Ritz crackers was about 39 cents for a 16oz box. Now the size has been reduced to 13.7oz and the price is $4.40. This is not only inflation, but also shrinkflation when you get less product.

Good for you! Yes, I've been looking into the FDA and foods lately and it's terrible what they are allowing in our food now. I just got done watching a video on how we are eating plastics in our food too, so watch out. And I also watched a documentary awhile ago on the medical community and how they want you sick so they can make money off of people having to see doctors more and how doctors are always prescribing people medications and how much money the pharmaceutical companies are making. Our prescriptions and food are regulated by the FDA. They are all involved in some way. Plus, the pills they prescribe us have many side effects and those cause further health problems so in turn, they prescribe you more meds and they also have side effects not to mention, the pills themselves have long term side effects which we are just now finding out about.😮 it's scary out there these days!😳
@@lucakat9262 Yep I say the same thing - the people in charge of looking out for us consumers are more interested in helping the companies earn more profit
My "healthy eating" starter plan has only two (2) no-no ingredients: High fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated anything. When I found out Ritz had both, stopped buying. This plan has cut out a LOT of foods. There's still plenty of cookies, ice creams, sausages, all kind of stuff I can still eat, but it's a start.
@Kevfactor if you're going to add oils, though, the tasty ones are better for you than seed or bean oils, hydrogenated or not. Have you seen the health consequences of PUFAs?
That is the best start ever. I know people on all ends of the diet spectrum, and whatever it is, they all do better, because they cut out those. Bromides replaced Iodine in all baked goods in the world except for Tasmania in the 1920s. Go figure!
I am, literally, eating a box of Tic-Tacs, currently. I can eat ‘em, like candy (I mean, beyond being a breath-mint). I was reading the label, earlier. The * next to “sugar,” states it adds a “trivial amount of calories, total calories, and added calories.” Though, I love that sweet, outer flavor. However, I don’t buy ‘em too often. I just so happened to have found ‘em, when cleaning. Although, kinda weird this Ritz video came up. I ate a small pack of Ritz crackers, about an hour ago - only cause my mother buys ‘em and I haven’t had a chance to go to the store, to get my own food (which, tends to be much cleaner). Lol, perhaps my phone was listening in, and could recognize the sound of the crisp, being I was watching something, while eating it. Either that, or Face ID is doing more IDing than it’s supposed to..
@@XOChristianaNicole Tic tacs have 1.5 calories each (and have a single serving size). Food with less than 2 calories per serving is allowed to be labeled 0 calories.
Most of these health food restrictions are hogwash. If you don't eat 5 pounds of Ritz crackers every day...there is probably no problem. Alcohol is the number one bad food item, with about 140,000 deaths per year in the US. BUT, no one is screaming about Alcohol. Instead they scream about a tiny bit of trans-fats in crackers.
I live in Thailand and occasionally get Ritz here. They taste different. When I compared, I saw that they do not have the oil, and have less calories. Preservatives in food here are not common.
Some of the footage here made me really want to visit a Krispy Kreme. I used to like to go in and watch them being made. I'd see one squirt out of the dough dispenser, and I'd follow it all the way through the rising process, the frying, the flip, the icing, and try to get that particular one.
They were the best and easy snacks to make growing up. We made them with peanut butter with jam or just cheddar cheese, cheese whiz or hazelnut spread. 😋
I love Ritz. Now I’m not going to eat them anymore. Im taking organic chemistry right now so Im learning about the processes used in fatty acids and lipids.
Vegetable oils aren’t all that healthful anyway. Trans fats are hard to avoid with processed vegetable oils, harder if the vegetable oils are heated as in deep-frying. It’s not just the partially-hydrogenated stuff…
seed oils are positively correlated with systemic inflammation that is part of many chronic painful conditions . . use coconut oil for high temp cooking and use olive oil for whatever could use oil but not needing high temp to cook it. I have the autoimmune illness inflammatory bowel and have been reading much about what worsens inflammation . . you can bet that any friend food at a restaurant is using vegetable oil aka "industrial oil" and it's probably harmful in various ways but Culver's onion rings are still part of my occasional order! I doubt they use "wonder-full" coconut oil.
@@tessangelabeck8958 You nailed it with 150% accuracy. Why would the Governfail tell you vegetable oil is good? They are an arm of big pharma and mass kickbacks come to them. They have no vested interest in a healthy society. That's why meat, eggs and coconut oil gets demonized.
Ritz crackers are available all over Europe, the oil is just substituted with one that isn't toxic. The ones in the US just use the trans-fats because it's cheaper and your food standards are terrible.
From a "Wizard of ID" cartoon around 2006: Sir Rodney: "The Huns are scaling the wall!" King: "Pour the boiling oil!" Rodney: "But it contains trans-fat!" King [looking directly out at reader]: "War is hell."
They are now made canola oil, which is extremely inflammatory. I resisted temptation for years, then got a small box. They were tasty, and had a great texture, but I noticed a reaction very quickly.
@@scallopohare9431 If you react to canlola oil, I can't see that organic ones are going to be any better for you. Organic's great for some stuff, but I can't see this one will help you
They are not banned in Europe they just have different ingredients. No trans fats or GMO ingredients in the packs you buy in the UK freely available in every supermarket.
No , that’s not true , moderation in many things still does harm , they tell diabetics to eat carbs moderately , that’s why they never get better only worse , the diabetic journal is sponsored by the insulin manufacturers , so could not print studies showing this , as sales would have gone down of insulin
@@user-rs1990 I just looked up the ingredients on the woolies website, different to the US ones & probably cause they also say "product of Indonesia", so they're making a formula that's suitable for our healthier demands. Not sure if Indonesia is making the European ones too or not

@@mareonaranch3565 Carbs aren't all bad. I eat raw oat flakes and rye flakes now, and I used to have high blood pressure. Not anymore. Minimally processed carbs are better than highly processed carbs.
I was really surprised to see this. I just finished a snack of 6 Ritz crackers with salami and mustard along with broccoli and cauliflower w/ dip. I'm 90. I don't eat saltines because of the salt
Thankfully, Ritz crackers is one thing I’ve never liked. I’m not sure why, because I normally like the sweet/salty flavor combination, but Ritz and Captain’s Wafers just aren’t my thing.
Hey, Andy Griffith used to do a commercial for Ritz, so they gotta be good. "mmmmmm! Good cracker!" Actually, they definitely don't taste as good as they used to, but I still buy a box every now and then.
Ritz crackers are made by Nabisco. Mondelez International consists of snack brands, including Nabisco, spun off from Kraft Foods in 2012. The company has moved much of its manufacturing to Mexico. In 2016 Mondelez cut 600 jobs in its Chicago and moved some of the operation to Salinas, Mexico, where the company announced a 130-million dollar investment. That they and Oreos are made in Mexico is bad enough, but they contain TBHQ. We don't support companies that have turned their back on the very people who made them what they are...
With the information you just gave, convinced me subscribe to your channel. Thanks! I have not had Ritz crackers in years, but, had recently thought of buying some. So much for that thought.
The FDA should be held accountable, for the increased incidence of heart disease, cancers, early death, attributed to diet. The entity once was a watchdog for the common person. But, apparently they sold out their virtue, for money, thus allowing food manufacturers to include outrageous chemicals into the food supply. Example; TBHQ, a chemical found in Keebler baked goods. Tert butylatedhydroquinone, how can this be healthy for human consumption?
I'm not surprised by this. The FDA regulates the food and pharmaceuticals we consume. So basically, if you eat foods that are bad for you, then you get sick, then you need to go to the doctor and the doctor prescribes you pills (pharmaceuticals). And in turn, the pharmaceutical cause side effects. Now the pharmaceutical companies are making pills for those "side effects" so they can make more money. It's a true win win situation for the pharmaceutical industry.😉
My aunty (87) is old enough to remember when their parents used to cook with pig and cow fat or even coconut oil. And I'm old enough to remember when It was ON the tv, mostly in 80's showbiz/variety programs, ads RECOMMENDING seed oils because they were the healty alternative to bacon and beef, also until today they try to sell you margarine as a "healty alternative to butter" when in fact margarine is something that could be the pure expresion of a venom.
I just looked at the Ingredients list on my box of Ritz crackers and no trans fats are listed. Not only that, but cottonseed oil isn't listed at all, so it shouldn't be present in any form, partially hydrogenated or natural. I can't detect any change of flavor either.
I looked at my dad’s package and it doesn’t have any trans fats and nothing I can’t pronounce. Even so, I avoid snack products, but every now and then, I think it’s OK in a pinch. If I have time I’ll make my own stuff!
What’s really sad is if they ever did announce that they were going to start using healthier oils, We would gladly pay the extra price for a healthier product.
No, you won't, you won't pay extra for anything. And I'll prove it, Would you rather pay $10 for one white t-shirt or $1 for ten white t-shirts? One is made in U.S.A., the other is made in China, You know EXACTLY which one you would buy.
@@armybeef68 I'd buy the 1 tshirt if it was 10 times the quality & made in Australia - we all do here, hence why we get the ritz ingredient list that omits all the harmful stuff. DOn't believe we would pay more for better? consumers demanded dairy farmers get an increase in pay, supermarkets said the only way they could do that was to increase prices, consumers said they wanted it, stores didn't believe them so made 2 products, 1 dollar milk and 1.10 dollar milk with 10 cents from each carton going to farmers. They figured that would put an end to the consumer carry on - it did, consumers refused to ever buy the 1 dollar milk again, going to other stores to buy the 1.10 milk if the first store they went to had sold out. the 1 dollar milks all had to be thrown away due to the boycott of it. Hasn't been issues with milk since then, dairy farmers are now properly paid
Eating them once in a while is ok like for the occasional party. They aren't meant to be consumed daily. Hell eating too much of anything is not healthy. Even drinking too much water can be dangerous.
This explains why after my 2 heart attacks, I literally ate 1 Ritz cracker and went to my doctor ASAP. I tried it once more a week later (we didn’t narrow it down to Ritz being the culprit) and went to urgent care. It’s been 3 years since I’ve eaten one. I used to eat them all the time before my heart attacks.
Used to get fed these when I was a little kid round my Gran's. She seemed to think these were a treat. They were okay from a freshly-opened packet, but she used to keep opened packets in the fridge so they wouldn't go off...... This made them 'flexible'.
So what's the big deal? You can buy stuff like beer, liquor wine, rotted food like kimshee, hoisin sauce , sauerkraut and the worst of all, BRUSSEL SPROUTS! Oh the humanity!
But donuts are ok...and all those tasty chips...are also ok. Think I'll continue my Ritz since I don't eat any of that other stuff that's actually a lot worse. IMHO.
Keep eating on that processed food. It's all bad for you. If not the ten year average it cuts off your life was bad enough but the declining health issues for over half of it and the overall lethargy and associated health costs are a no brainer. Three words for u, plant based diet.
That's ok Martha, Keep on eating what ever makes you happy. Those who are interested in better health will go on without you. I loved ritz until I went carnivore, and learned what real health is like.
I eat these plain, topped with jam, or meat, or cheese, or meat and cheese ( lunchable), or use them for breadcrumbs in recipes, or use them to replace croutons for salads! BECAUSE THEY'RE SO TASTY!
I use these with my egg salad or tuna sald this is my favorite caracker and only will buy however they have changed in the last few years very crumbley and taste a bit different..
In the Philippines they have something called Fita which is the same as Ritz, tastes the same for about 1/3 of the price. No idea what similarities or differences in ingredients might be.
My mother sometimes got these when we were kids, but I never really liked them. To me, eating Ritz crackers is like eating sawdust. I am in my mid-60s now, and I have never bought Ritz crackers myself, as I'm not fond of eating sawdust. I do like saltines, though, but mostly with something on them. Haven't had them in a long time, though. I mostly have rice cakes instead now, with or without toppings. I sometimes put plain yogurt and garlic salt on them. I stay away from sweetened yogurts, but I really like plain yogurt. I tried for decades to find a healthier alternative to cheese with no luck until I tried plain yogurt. It tastes a lot like cream cheese. Because of this, I was able to cut way down on my cheese intake. Anyway, eat Ritz crackers if you like them, but I don't, so I won't.

Seems like the most common denominator is shelf life and our busy lifestyles. The goal of extended shelf life has been the driving factor to come up with way to preserve food longer. The longer food lasts, the worse it is for our health. In many countries, people go to markets almost daily to get fresh food for that day and/or the next. No need to preserve food to last for 2 years on a shelf.
You CAN buy Ritz crackers in the UK. They are quite popular but like many American food products like McDonalds the ingredients are different in Europe from in the USA. In the UK Ritz crackers are made with palm oil which is not a trans oil.
Good grief, this came came up just as I was putting a wheat Ritz in my mouth! I purchased them by mistake and decided to keep them. I will not buy them anymore because of those seed oils. I've cut all sugar, rice, pasta, and have been eliminating seed oils. The Ritz is next...

Good for you! Yes, I've been looking into the FDA and foods lately and it's terrible what they are allowing in our food now. I just got done watching a video on how we are eating plastics in our food too, so watch out. And I also watched a documentary awhile ago on the medical community and how they want you sick so they can make money off of people having to see doctors more and how doctors are always prescribing people medications and how much money the pharmaceutical companies are making. Our prescriptions and food are regulated by the FDA. They are all involved in some way. Plus, the pills they prescribe us have many side effects and those cause further health problems so in turn, they prescribe you more meds and they also have side effects not to mention, the pills themselves have long term side effects which we are just now finding out about.😮 it's scary out there these days!😳

@@lucakat9262 Yep I say the same thing - the people in charge of looking out for us consumers are more interested in helping the companies earn more profit
Good for you for not eating them but you could have taken them back to the store for a refund. That would hurt the company more.
Yep..GMOS
My "healthy eating" starter plan has only two (2) no-no ingredients: High fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated anything. When I found out Ritz had both, stopped buying. This plan has cut out a LOT of foods. There's still plenty of cookies, ice creams, sausages, all kind of stuff I can still eat, but it's a start.
if it tastes good it probably isn't good for you. :)
@Kevfactor if you're going to add oils, though, the tasty ones are better for you than seed or bean oils, hydrogenated or not. Have you seen the health consequences of PUFAs?
That is the best start ever. I know people on all ends of the diet spectrum, and whatever it is, they all do better, because they cut out those. Bromides replaced Iodine in all baked goods in the world except for Tasmania in the 1920s. Go figure!
@@pondboy3682 WIll check that otu
Not to mention too much salt...

@@bweaver760 also really good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If it tastes good - spit it out!
And that mentality is why Americans are morbidly obese.
Also, Tic-Tacs are almost 100% sugar. They’re labeled as sugar free due to less than 1/2 gram of sugar per serving
I am, literally, eating a box of Tic-Tacs, currently. I can eat ‘em, like candy (I mean, beyond being a breath-mint).
I was reading the label, earlier. The * next to “sugar,” states it adds a “trivial amount of calories, total calories, and added calories.”
Though, I love that sweet, outer flavor.
However, I don’t buy ‘em too often. I just so happened to have found ‘em, when cleaning.
Although, kinda weird this Ritz video came up. I ate a small pack of Ritz crackers, about an hour ago - only cause my mother buys ‘em and I haven’t had a chance to go to the store, to get my own food (which, tends to be much cleaner).
Lol, perhaps my phone was listening in, and could recognize the sound of the crisp, being I was watching something, while eating it.
Either that, or Face ID is doing more IDing than it’s supposed to..
@@XOChristianaNicole Tic tacs have 1.5 calories each (and have a single serving size). Food with less than 2 calories per serving is allowed to be labeled 0 calories.
Can't stay on topic?
Serving size: ¼ of a mint. 😉
Each serving is sugar free _when served from a Tennis racquet..._ 🎾🙃
And they taste like medicine, yuck!
"It's debatable whether Ritz crackers are healthy." No, it's not. They're unhealthy, full stop. But that's why they're so good
They're NOT good. And not healthy, either. They're junk.
@@foobarmaximus3506 Thanks for sharing
Most of these health food restrictions are hogwash.
If you don't eat 5 pounds of Ritz crackers every day...there is probably no problem.
Alcohol is the number one bad food item, with about 140,000 deaths per year in the US. BUT, no one is screaming about Alcohol.
Instead they scream about a tiny bit of trans-fats in crackers.
They don't taste good because they are unhealthy. They are unhealthy because they taste good.
'Trans' fats. Are they part of the rainbow cult?
I live in Thailand and occasionally get Ritz here. They taste different. When I compared, I saw that they do not have the oil, and have less calories. Preservatives in food here are not common.
Aussie ones are made in Indonesia, I'm guessing yours probably are too & yeh, none of the corn syrup or transfats in ours
I am in Norway, currently eating ritz crackers, not banned here...
Here in Australia they are made with vegetable oil. In the UK they are made with Sunflower oil, so I expect Norway uses one of those oils as well.
Probably different oils
Do you guys shove them up your ass in Norway too? I like a nice sleeve of crackers in my ass.
Well......Good For You!!!
Wow. Our products are practically in every country now. Nabisco is everywhere.

That's alarming. Thank God I buy REAL BUTTER!
Hydrogenated oil is very similar to plastic. The other really bad ingredient limited in some countries is high fructose corn syrup.
And water is very similar to hydrogen peroxide. Jeesh.
@@marksatterfield3100 BUT NOT THE SAME, DUMBO! JEESH!!!!!!!!!!!
Some of the footage here made me really want to visit a Krispy Kreme. I used to like to go in and watch them being made. I'd see one squirt out of the dough dispenser, and I'd follow it all the way through the rising process, the frying, the flip, the icing, and try to get that particular one.
Nice!
They were the best and easy snacks to make growing up. We made them with peanut butter with jam or just cheddar cheese, cheese whiz or hazelnut spread. 😋
Or pizza sauce a piece of sausage n some cheese on top in the broiler
be honest. if you're eating something that comes out of a box, you know it's not good for you.
So true!!💯💯💯💯
How is it not good for you if you’re eating in moderation?
There are varying degrees of poison. This is just under cake and donuts.
@@TheRealBrook1968 White flour and fat! What the People love.
Agreed
I love Ritz. Now I’m not going to eat them anymore. Im taking organic chemistry right now so Im learning about the processes used in fatty acids and lipids.
Live a little.
Scary, isn't it?!
Read what happens to your body when you drink a diet soda. WAY worse than a little bit of trans-fats.
Never give up my Ritz crackers ! Live a little is right. Seriously if you aren't raising it yourself or doing the gardening then you are at risk.
Vegetable oils aren’t all that healthful anyway. Trans fats are hard to avoid with processed vegetable oils, harder if the vegetable oils are heated as in deep-frying. It’s not just the partially-hydrogenated stuff…
Cottonseed oil is not recommended as cotton crops are heavily dosed with insecticide.
There is no such thing as vegetable oil. That's just a marketing scam. They are bean and seed oils that are as good for your body as drinking bleach.
seed oils are positively correlated with systemic inflammation that is part of many chronic painful conditions . . use coconut oil for high temp cooking and use olive oil for whatever could use oil but not needing high temp to cook it. I have the autoimmune illness inflammatory bowel and have been reading much about what worsens inflammation . . you can bet that any friend food at a restaurant is using vegetable oil aka "industrial oil" and it's probably harmful in various ways but Culver's onion rings are still part of my occasional order! I doubt they use "wonder-full" coconut oil.
@@tessangelabeck8958 You nailed it with 150% accuracy. Why would the Governfail tell you vegetable oil is good? They are an arm of big pharma and mass kickbacks come to them. They have no vested interest in a healthy society. That's why meat, eggs and coconut oil gets demonized.
@@tessangelabeck8958 Aren't coconuts and olives the seeds of their respective plants?
That is true for Kraft macaroni and cheese also . The U.S.A. version uses GMO flour but the European does not allow GMO foods in products.
If you can't make macaroni and cheese without Kraft, then God help you.
Ritz crackers are available all over Europe, the oil is just substituted with one that isn't toxic. The ones in the US just use the trans-fats because it's cheaper and your food standards are terrible.
These dangerous fats are in lots of products. Great information & enjoy EWGs work.
From a "Wizard of ID" cartoon around 2006:
Sir Rodney: "The Huns are scaling the wall!"

Good. Preserve your life.

They are now made canola oil, which is extremely inflammatory. I resisted temptation for years, then got a small box. They were tasty, and had a great texture, but I noticed a reaction very quickly.
There are organic ones sold in Whole Foods, they taste just as good but without the harmful ingredients, and another brand, same price.

They are not banned in Europe they just have different ingredients. No trans fats or GMO ingredients in the packs you buy in the UK freely available in every supermarket.
I live in Iceland and I bought a packet of Ritz last week!

Some things you must avoid altogether.
Moderation is the word!!
No , that’s not true , moderation in many things still does harm , they tell diabetics to eat carbs moderately , that’s why they never get better only worse , the diabetic journal is sponsored by the insulin manufacturers , so could not print studies showing this , as sales would have gone down of insulin
They're still available in Australia!
I remember when they were sold by the Lanes company.
@@australianpatriot I still like the taste since I was a kid.
@@user-rs1990 I just looked up the ingredients on the woolies website, different to the US ones & probably cause they also say "product of Indonesia", so they're making a formula that's suitable for our healthier demands. Not sure if Indonesia is making the European ones too or not
It never ceases to amaze me that there is so much information available regarding nutritional detriments yet, people don't seem to care. They go right on eating junk food without a care..
Cheddar Cheese or Dairylea spread are delicious. Then add a couple of Walkers Salt and Vinegar or Cheese and Onion crisps on top to complete.
True story,
I was having bloating and blood pressure problems. Stopped eating Ritz crackers and potato chips and I am way way feeling better.
It's the carbs... Starch
@@mareonaranch3565 Carbs aren't all bad. I eat raw oat flakes and rye flakes now, and I used to have high blood pressure. Not anymore. Minimally processed carbs are better than highly processed carbs.
My dad would eat a couple of Ritz Crackers every day after work at home with cheese. He died when he was 91. Go figure.
he only ate a couple...not a whole sleeve at a time.
If he lived to be 90 I would have to say he lived a long life and the crackers and cheese didn't hurt him.
I was really surprised to see this. I just finished a snack of 6 Ritz crackers with salami and mustard along with broccoli and cauliflower w/ dip. I'm 90. I don't eat saltines because of the salt
Average human life age
Finally caught up with him. lol.
Thankfully, Ritz crackers is one thing I’ve never liked. I’m not sure why, because I normally like the sweet/salty flavor combination, but Ritz and Captain’s Wafers just aren’t my thing.
It is advisable to avoid the types of ingredients that are used in many of the various snack foods, deserts, and cracker type products.
Hey, Andy Griffith used to do a commercial for Ritz, so they gotta be good. "mmmmmm! Good cracker!" Actually, they definitely don't taste as good as they used to, but I still buy a box every now and then.
My grandma ate them with a dollop or sour cream and a slice of banana. It is sweet creamy and crispy. Sounds weird but it's so good.
Grandma ate em with nanners too
Ritz were my mother's absolute favorite. She had them with peanut butter for her evening snack. I never cared for them as they're so greasy.
Greasy, yes.
Worked several years for the company. Have never once has a "greasy " Ritz.
@@elbmcook I have had a few.
They're actually very dry now. They're not greasy, but they don't taste good either.
I love Ritz but my country has it's own version of salty crackers - DIXEE 🇹🇹
Ritz crackers are made by Nabisco. Mondelez International consists of snack brands, including Nabisco, spun off from Kraft Foods in 2012. The company has moved much of its manufacturing to Mexico. In 2016 Mondelez cut 600 jobs in its Chicago and moved some of the operation to Salinas, Mexico, where the company announced a 130-million dollar investment. That they and Oreos are made in Mexico is bad enough, but they contain TBHQ. We don't support companies that have turned their back on the very people who made them what they are...
Summer sausage and your favorite cheese, is all they need.

The FDA should be held accountable, for the increased incidence of heart disease, cancers,
early death, attributed to diet.
The entity once was a watchdog for the common person.
But, apparently they sold out their virtue, for money, thus allowing food manufacturers to include outrageous chemicals into the food supply.
Example; TBHQ, a chemical found in Keebler baked goods.
Tert butylatedhydroquinone, how can this be healthy for human consumption?
They are not as good as they used to be 10 years ago. You can’t even spread peanut butter on them without them splintering into crumbs.
Probably because the video is full of crap. They use Soybean and/or Canola now. We liked the bad ones better... maybe.
I love Ritz😊 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a great day everyone 🌻
Greetings from SW Pennsylvania! Good day to you too!!
What a shame Ritz crackers used to be so tasty now they change the recipe and they’re not the same at all! 👎🏼
This is why certain pharmaceutical companies invest portions of their assets under treasury in companies like Nabisco and Frito-Lay.
I'm not surprised by this. The FDA regulates the food and pharmaceuticals we consume. So basically, if you eat foods that are bad for you, then you get sick, then you need to go to the doctor and the doctor prescribes you pills (pharmaceuticals). And in turn, the pharmaceutical cause side effects. Now the pharmaceutical companies are making pills for those "side effects" so they can make more money. It's a true win win situation for the pharmaceutical industry.😉
My aunty (87) is old enough to remember when their parents used to cook with pig and cow fat or even coconut oil.
And I'm old enough to remember when It was ON the tv, mostly in 80's showbiz/variety programs, ads RECOMMENDING seed oils because they were the healty alternative to bacon and beef, also until today they try to sell you margarine as a "healty alternative to butter" when in fact margarine is something that could be the pure expresion of a venom.
So true!
I used to love these when I was younger. No seed oils for me.
Didn't know they were banned in places like Denmark, you can certainly buy them in Sweden.
I just looked at the Ingredients list on my box of Ritz crackers and no trans fats are listed. Not only that, but cottonseed oil isn't listed at all, so it shouldn't be present in any form, partially hydrogenated or natural. I can't detect any change of flavor either.
nabisco must haven't paid their rent so they're being bad mouthed. haaaaaaaa. i eat what i want. i work out everyday. enjoy.
I looked at my dad’s package and it doesn’t have any trans fats and nothing I can’t pronounce. Even so, I avoid snack products, but every now and then, I think it’s OK in a pinch. If I have time I’ll make my own stuff!
Forgot to mention, my dad is 93 and eats exactly what he wants to eat.
What’s really sad is if they ever did announce that they were going to start using healthier oils, We would gladly pay the extra price for a healthier product.
There ARE no healthy seed oils. Check out the channel, "What I've Learned".
@@YSLRD Yeah but honest animal lard, can you imagine that cracker? Yum.
@@YSLRD could they use avocado or olive?
No, you won't, you won't pay extra for anything.

@@armybeef68 I'd buy the 1 tshirt if it was 10 times the quality & made in Australia - we all do here, hence why we get the ritz ingredient list that omits all the harmful stuff.
DOn't believe we would pay more for better? consumers demanded dairy farmers get an increase in pay, supermarkets said the only way they could do that was to increase prices, consumers said they wanted it, stores didn't believe them so made 2 products, 1 dollar milk and 1.10 dollar milk with 10 cents from each carton going to farmers. They figured that would put an end to the consumer carry on - it did, consumers refused to ever buy the 1 dollar milk again, going to other stores to buy the 1.10 milk if the first store they went to had sold out. the 1 dollar milks all had to be thrown away due to the boycott of it. Hasn't been issues with milk since then, dairy farmers are now properly paid
No cotton seed oil listed in the ingredients on the box of Ritz I just bought. Maybe, the ingredients have changed in the last two years.
Eating them once in a while is ok like for the occasional party. They aren't meant to be consumed daily. Hell eating too much of anything is not healthy. Even drinking too much water can be dangerous.
I did not know. Thanks.
This explains why after my 2 heart attacks, I literally ate 1 Ritz cracker and went to my doctor ASAP. I tried it once more a week later (we didn’t narrow it down to Ritz being the culprit) and went to urgent care. It’s been 3 years since I’ve eaten one. I used to eat them all the time before my heart attacks.
I m thrilled thay are banned in many countries. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. So now it means more for me! 💖😍🥰
Used to get fed these when I was a little kid round my Gran's. She seemed to think these were a treat. They were okay from a freshly-opened packet, but she used to keep opened packets in the fridge so they wouldn't go off...... This made them 'flexible'.
They're made with cottonseed oil, which is banned in many countries. You're welcome.
Not everything you eat needs to be categorized as healthy. Live your life. Pay attention, don’t obsess.
Actually you should be extremely careful because you'll pay for it health-wise as you age. Being careful isn't equivalent to obsessing.
@@minoozolala I agree, except for your word "extremely".
I've been eating these forever..someone changed the packaging..now the seal breaks and the whole pack is open
Ritz are the best around Christmas...for me anyway. I love them with beef and onion cream cheese dip around the holidays.

Sneaky products? If they don't want to change, just quit buying them. Simple.
But donuts are ok...and all those tasty chips...are also ok. Think I'll continue my Ritz since I don't eat any of that other stuff that's actually a lot worse. IMHO.

Keep eating on that processed food. It's all bad for you. If not the ten year average it cuts off your life was bad enough but the declining health issues for over half of it and the overall lethargy and associated health costs are a no brainer. Three words for u, plant based diet.

That's ok Martha, Keep on eating what ever makes you happy. Those who are interested in better health will go on without you. I loved ritz until I went carnivore, and learned what real health is like.

I eat these plain, topped with jam, or meat, or cheese, or meat and cheese ( lunchable), or use them for breadcrumbs in recipes, or use them to replace croutons for salads! BECAUSE THEY'RE SO TASTY!
They taste like cardboard.

Ritz are my favorite and the only crackers I buy. Love them the most in soup.

Interesting as I just finished eating another sleeve of Ritz Crackers. 😋
In the Philippines they have something called Fita which is the same as Ritz, tastes the same for about 1/3 of the price. No idea what similarities or differences in ingredients might be.
My mother sometimes got these when we were kids, but I never really liked them. To me, eating Ritz crackers is like eating sawdust. I am in my mid-60s now, and I have never bought Ritz crackers myself, as I'm not fond of eating sawdust. I do like saltines, though, but mostly with something on them. Haven't had them in a long time, though. I mostly have rice cakes instead now, with or without toppings. I sometimes put plain yogurt and garlic salt on them. I stay away from sweetened yogurts, but I really like plain yogurt. I tried for decades to find a healthier alternative to cheese with no luck until I tried plain yogurt. It tastes a lot like cream cheese. Because of this, I was able to cut way down on my cheese intake. Anyway, eat Ritz crackers if you like them, but I don't, so I won't.
My squirrels & birds enjoy eating Ritz cracker's, besides myself occasionally 😉.......

They are not the same as they were 20 years ago. These modern ones taste like cardboard. We don't buy them anymore. Pure junk.
They removed something from the recipe lately. Not sure if they are cutting back on flower, yeast? Maybe the oil? They are terrible now.
If these are 3rd best seller, what are top 2 ?
When I'm working around the house, a 'few' of these are filling until lunch or dinner. Other snacks, not so much.
Likely the reason for the demise of Keebler's "TUC", "The Uncommon Cracker", which I discovered while living in... Austria!
They have these in South Africa, so good
Everything tastes good when it sits on a Ritz. Good Cracker.
Nabisco sold Ritz years ago. They are now made in Mexico.
Mexico has some great products, like Jarritos sodas, but their Ritz crackers and Ding Dongs and Twinkies are terrible.
Seems like the most common denominator is shelf life and our busy lifestyles. The goal of extended shelf life has been the driving factor to come up with way to preserve food longer. The longer food lasts, the worse it is for our health. In many countries, people go to markets almost daily to get fresh food for that day and/or the next. No need to preserve food to last for 2 years on a shelf.
Oh, come on! Going outside is dangerous. You can easily spend your entire life worrying about things that are dangerous. Ridiculous.

You CAN buy Ritz crackers in the UK. They are quite popular but like many American food products like McDonalds the ingredients are different in Europe from in the USA. In the UK Ritz crackers are made with palm oil which is not a trans oil.
Good grief, this came came up just as I was putting a wheat Ritz in my mouth! I purchased them by mistake and decided to keep them. I will not buy them anymore because of those seed oils. I've cut all sugar, rice, pasta, and have been eliminating seed oils. The Ritz is next...
