Approximately 83,802 cases of Kraft Singles American Pasteurized Prepared Cheese product are being recalled because a thin strip of the individual slice wrapper may remain stuck to the cheese after it is unwrapped. This issue was caused by a defect in one of the packaging wrappers and could result in a consumer accidentally eating the plastic. The recall includes 24-slice (16oz) packs and 72-slice (3lb) multipack cartons sold at retail stores nationwide and in Puerto Rico. Consumers are advised not to eat the affected cheese and to return it for a refund or dispose of it.
The thin strip of primary packaging film that remains adhered to the cheese slice poses a potential choking or gagging hazard if accidentally consumed. While no injuries or incidents have been reported, the defect creates a risk of ingesting foreign plastic material.
