Kraft Recalls Cheese Slices

By Todd Richissin

Careful with how you top your burgers: Kraft has issued a recall for thousands of cases of those individually wrapped slices of American cheese.

The company says that a supplier failed to store an ingredient used in its Kraft American Singles Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product. While unlikely, Kraft says, the mistake could lead to premature spoilage and illness.

Details of what’s being recalled:

• Four products with “Best When Used By” dates of Feb. 20, 2015, and Feb. 21, 2015.
• The packages include 12-ounce, 16-ounce and 64-ounce sizes.
• The affected product was produced at Kraft’s Springfield, MO manufacturing facility.

From Kraft: “Consumers who purchased any of these products should not eat them. They should return them to the store where purchased for an exchange or full refund. Consumers also can contact Kraft Foods Consumer Relations at 1-800-396-5512.”
