Imitation Pasteurized Process Cheese Food recall

Recalled by Dairy Farmers OF America Inc · Kansas City, MO, United States

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

Why it was recalled

Dairy Farmers of America Inc. is recalling a number of cheese products due that a piece of plastic film strip might remain attached to the cheese slice upon peeling the film from the product.

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.
