Kraft Singles American processed cheese slices recalled from VI – RTW Group
In a release today from the Company's Marketing Manager Dawn Callwood, RTW said Kraft has announced the voluntary recall of approximately 83,800 cases of individually wrapped Kraft Singles American processed cheese slices that were shipped to a limited number of customers.
“The voluntary recall comes as a precaution after a temporary issue developed on one of our wrapping machines, making it possible that a thin strip of the individual film may remain on the slice after the wrapper has been removed.”
The company detailed that If the film sticks to the slice and is not removed, it could be unpleasant and potentially cause a gagging or choking hazard.
Only a listed batch affected
The release added that only Kraft Singles American processed cheese slices with the case/package information listed below were affected. No other varieties or sizes are included in the recall and the issue was discovered after Kraft received several consumer complaints about finding the plastic stuck to a slice, including six complaints of consumers saying they choked or gagged in connection with the issue.
However, no injuries or serious health issues have been reported. RTW Group added that Kraft Heinz has since fixed the machine that wrapped the affected slices and all other processing machines have been thoroughly inspected.
Consumers who purchased these items should not consume them and can return them to the store where it was purchased for an exchange or refund or contact Kraft Heinz from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, Monday through Friday, at 1- 800-280-8252 to see if a product is part of the recall and to receive reimbursement.
