The Kraft Heinz Company recalls more American Cheese

The Kraft Heinz Company recalls more American Cheese

The Kraft Heinz Company is expanding the voluntary recall of select code dates and manufacturing codes of individually-wrapped American slices due to the possibility that a thin strip of the individual packaging film may remain adhered to the slice after the wrapper has been removed. If the film sticks to the slice and is not removed, it could potentially cause a choking hazard.

The original July 31, 2015 recall has been expanded. This product list below is inclusive of the previously recalled 3 LB and 4 LB sizes of Kraft Singles American and White American pasteurized prepared cheese product with a “Best When Used By” date of 29 DEC 15 through 04 JAN 16, followed by the Manufacturing Code S54 or S55.

Only products with the S54 and S55 codes, which refer to the two production lines on which the impacted product was made, are included in this recall. The “Best When Used By” Date and Manufacturing Code are stamped on both the outer box and the individual packages.

The voluntary recall is expanded to include the following varieties of Kraft Heinz American slices in addition to the original recall:

Product	3 or 4 lb Sell Unit Best When Used By Code Date	1 lb Package Best When Used By Code Date	3 or 4 lb Sell Unit UPC	1 lb Package UPC
