KRAFT RECALL ALERT: Metal Pieces Prompts Massive Mac and Cheese Recall

Written by Renee Schiavone (Patch Staff)

Food industry giant Kraft Foods is recalling millions of boxes of one of its most popular family items— macaroni and cheese— due to the possibility that “some boxes may contain small pieces of metal.”

The company announced Tuesday that approximately 242,000 cases are affected by the voluntary recall. A spokesperson told NBC News that equates to approximately 6.5 million boxes of the product.

So far, they have received eight reports from consumers about the metal— but no injuries have been reported, according to Kraft.

“We deeply regret this situation and apologize to any consumers we have disappointed,” Kraft said in a news release.

Boxes were shipped nationwide, and in several other countries, according to the company. They were packaged individually, and in multi-packs.
