Kraft Recalls 84,000 Cases of American Cheese for Potential Choking Hazard

Six consumers have reported "choking or gagging" in connection with the issue

On Tuesday night, Kraft Heinz issued a recall of Kraft Singles American cheese slices after reports of consumers choking on plastic wrap.

According to a release from the food brand, one of the machines that adds the plastic wrapping to each cheese slice malfunctioned. This issue means that a “thin strip of the individual film” could remain on the cheese slice even after the wrapper had been removed, potentially causing a “gagging or choking hazard” for consumers.

Kraft reports that six consumers complained of “choking or gagging in connection with the issue” but that no injuries have been reported.

These have a UPC of 0 2100060491 3 and a best-by date of Jan. 9, 2024 through Jan. 16, 2024.
