Mary Alice Reporting –

A packaging defect is causing Kraft Heinz to recall more than 80,000 cases of individually wrapped cheese slices.

The product of Kraft Singles American processed cheese slices were shipped to a limited number of customers and the voluntary recall, issued this week, is a precaution after an issue developed on a wrapping machine. The problem has since be fixed.

The company says they received several consumer complaints about finding plastic wrapper stuck on the slices, which is causing a gagging or choking hazard.

The recall is for 83,800 cases and is for the 3 lb. multipacks of Kraft Singles American Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product with a “Best When Used By” of January 9, 2024, through January 13 and 16th.
