Over 90 years after its introduction, Ritz Crackers is releasing a gluten-free version of its classic cracker. This change will have a significant impact on individuals with celiac disease or gluten intolerance who have been craving a gluten-free alternative to the beloved snack.

The cause of this change is the growing demand for gluten-free products in the market. People.com notes that Ritz is releasing the gluten-free version at two retailers, but the names of these retailers are not specified.

The evidence behind this change is the growing market demand for gluten-free products, which has prompted Mondelez, the manufacturer of Ritz, to offer a new variety that fans have been clamoring for. However, the limited availability of the gluten-free version at only two retailers raises questions about accessibility and whether this will be enough to meet the growing demand for gluten-free products.
