Kraft Cheese Recall Grows From 36,000 To 335,000

Kraft recently announced a recall of 36,000 packages of single wrapped cheese products, but now that number has been expanded to a staggering 335,000 units.

The product recall is over slivers of plastic film remaining attached to Kraft Singles that can cause choking and other health hazards.

The products affected include Kraft Singles American and White American cheese products in 1, 2 and 4-pound packages. The recalled items were sold in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and 10 other countries and territories, including Anguilla, the Bahamas, Belize, Bermuda, Grand Cayman, Netherlands Antilles, St. Kitts and Nevis, South Korea, St. Lucia, and the British Virgin Islands.
Here’s a detailed list of items recalled:
– 4-lb. Kraft Singles American
– 3-lb. Kraft Singles American (3 1-lb. packages)
– 4-lb. Kraft Singles White American
– 3-lb. Kraft Singles White American
– 1-lb. Kraft Singles White American
– 1-lb. Kraft Singles
– 3-lb. Deli Deluxe Kraft American Singles
– 3-lb. Kraft Singles American (72 individually-wrapped Singles in cardboard carton)

All of the recalled products are stamped with a “Best When Used By” date between DEC 15 and FEB 16, except for the Deli Deluxe Kraft American Singles which are dated JAN 16 through MAR 16. They also have code S54 or S 55 stamped after the date.

Kraft says only products with the S54 and S55 codes, which refer to the two production lines where the items were made, are included in the recall.
