Kraft Jalapeno String Cheese recall

Recalled by Kraft Foods, Inc. · Northfield, IL, United States

Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.

Why it was recalled

There is a possibility that a thin layer of plastic film from the package may remain adhered to the string cheese, which could cause a choking hazard.

Hard or sharp fragments can cut the mouth or throat, break teeth or cause choking. They usually come from equipment wear or packaging on the production line. All foreign material recalls.
