The honest verdict

Is Ritz Crackers Actually Healthy?

Five Ritz are a modest 80 calories, but they're refined flour and oil engineered to taste buttery, with no fiber or protein to earn a place beyond pleasure. As a cheese-and-cracker vehicle they're fine occasionally. As a standing pantry staple, an almond-flour cracker does the same job with a real ingredient list.
