More than 80,000 cases of individually-wrapped Kraft Singles of American cheese slices are being recalled after it was found that a strip of film may remain on the slice even after the wrapper has been removed.
Food giant Kraft Heinz announced the recall Tuesday, saying in a news release that the recall comes as a precaution after a "temporary issue" with one of its wrapping machines. A thin strip of the individual film may remain on the slice after the wrapper has been removed, and could be "unpleasant" or cause a gagging or choking hazard.
Approximately 83,800 cases that were shipped to a limited number of customers are affected by the recall, according to Kraft Heinz.
Kraft Heinz said it discovered the issue after several customer complaints about finding the plastic stuck to a slice of cheese, including six complaints of customers who said they choked or gagged. No injuries or serious health issues have been reported.
The machine that caused the issue has since been fixed and all other processing machines have been "thoroughly inspected," the company said.
Kraft Heinz says customers who purchased the affected slices of cheese should not consume them, and can return them to the store where they were purchased for an exchange or refund.
You can also contact Kraft Heinz from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET, Monday-Friday at 1-800-280-8252 to see if a product is part of the recall and to receive reimbursement.
