Kraft recalls 36000 cases of select singles cheese
The Kraft Heinz Company is voluntarily recalling select Kraft Singles individually wrapped slices due to a possible choking hazard, about 36,000 in total.
For more information on this recall, visit the U.S. Food & Drug Administration website. So far, 10 consumer complaints have been received by the company, with three of those reporting consumers choking. And no products with manufacturing codes other than “S54” and “S55” after the code date are included in this recall. The Best When Used By Date and Manufacturing Code are stamped on both the larger 3-lb. and 4-lb. boxes and the enclosed individual 1-lb. packages. Three people reportedly choked on the slices.
The affected packages were distributed to the United States, Puerto Rico and Grand Cayman. The prior recall included 42,000 cases of their macaroni and cheese dinners that had the “Best if Used By Date” of September 18, 2015, through October 11, 2015, and had the specific code “C2”.
Any customer that purchased one of the affected products are being encouraged not to eat them and immediately return them to the retailer in which they bought them.
At this time, there have been no other products by Kraft identified to be at risk for choking or any other health concern.
