Kraft Heinz recently announced a recall of more than 83,800 cases of its iconic Singles American Cheese Slices. The recall was issued due to a possibility that the affected product is contaminated with extraneous material, specifically pieces of metal, which could pose a health hazard should it get ingested.
The cheese slices in question have an expiration date of January 2nd, 2022, with code “S54” underneath the nutrition label. This particular product was sold just at retail stores in the United States and not in any other locations worldwide. According to the recall notice, the company has received one consumer complaint in relation to the affected product.
The recall notices that this incident did not have any impact on operations since only a few cases of affected product were distributed. However, it doesn’t take away from the fact that the Kraft Heinz Company is committed to providing the highest quality of products to its customers.
To date, there have been no reports of injury or illness associated with the contaminated product. Kraft Heinz advises consumers who have purchased the affected product to not consume it and to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
The Kraft Heinz Company is taking necessary steps to ensure the safety of its customers, and is reaching out to all its retail partners to ensure that the affected product is removed from the shelves and the supply chain. It remains to be seen if further batches of the American Cheese Singles might become affected.
Kraft Heinz is one of the most renowned food companies in the world, with a long history of producing quality products for its customers. The company is taking responsibility for this issue and acting quickly to mitigate any potential risks. It is also reassuring to see that their food safety procedures are as thorough as ever. Consumers should feel safe in the knowledge that Kraft Heinz has their best interests at heart.
