Only 3-Lb. and 4-Lb. Packages of Kraft
Singles Included in Recall
The Kraft Heinz Company is voluntarily recalling select code
dates and manufacturing codes of Kraft Singles individually-wrapped
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.
