Cheez-it crackers were introduced in 1921 by the Green & Green Company. Sunshine Biscuits acquired Green & Green in 1932 and Sunshine Biscuits became a subsidiary of the Keebler Company in 1996 and was acquired by Kellogg in 2001.

Cheez-It is a cheese cracker manufactured by the Kellogg Company through its Sunshine Biscuits division.

The almost square crackers are made with wheat flour, vegetable oil, sharp cheddar cheese, salt, and spices.
