Kraft Hein is recalling approximately 83,800 cases of one of its most popular products — Kraft Singles American cheese slices — due to a potential gagging or choking hazard.
The company said late Tuesday afternoon that the voluntary recall is 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.” In turn, the sticking film could cause the hazard.
So far, several consumers have complained about the issue, including six who said they choked or gagged, according to Kraft Heinz
KHC,
But the company added, “No injuries or serious health issues have been reported.”
Kraft Heinz also noted that it has fixed the machine that caused the problem and “all other processing machines have been thoroughly inspected.”
Products involved in the recall include 16 oz. Kraft Singles American Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product with an individual package UPC of 0 2100061526 1 and a “Best When Used By” date of 10 JAN 24 through 27 JAN 24, according to Kraft Heinz. Individual packages will contain an S and 72 in the manufacturing code.
Also included are 3 lb. multipacks of Kraft Singles American Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product with a carton UPC of 0 2100060491 3 and a “Best When Used By” of 09 JAN 2024 through 13 JAN 2024 and 16 JAN 2024.
Kraft Heinz said consumers who bought the affected cheese product “should not consume them and can return them to the store where it was purchased for an exchange or refund.”
Consumers can also call Kraft Heinz at (800) 280-8252 (Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET) to see if a product is part of the recall and to receive reimbursement.
