Kraft recalls cheese slices for choking risk
The Kraft Heinz Co. is voluntarily recalling about 36,000 cases of Kraft Singles cheese products because some of the packaging film may stick to the slices and pose a choking hazard.
The company said Monday that there have been 10 consumer complaints to date about the packaging, including three reports of consumers choking.
The recall applies to 3-lb. and 4-lb. sizes of Kraft Singles American and White American pasteurized prepared cheese product. The products being recalled have a “best when used by” date of Dec. 29, 2015 through Jan. 4, 2016, followed by the manufacturing code S54 or S55.
No other sizes, varieties or code dates are included in this recall.
