Kraft and Polly-O String Cheese Recall
Kraft Foods Group is voluntarily recalling some of their varieties of Kraft and Polly-O String Cheese and String Cheese Twists products. These products may spoil before their “best when used by” dates.
Here is a message from Kraft:
To Our Valued Kraft and Polly-O String Cheese Consumers –
We’re sorry that some of our Kraft and Polly-O String Cheese products did not meet our high standards. And we deeply regret if you have experienced any inconvenience due to our voluntary recall on October 25, 2013.
As you may know, these are natural cheeses that contain no added preservatives, and it’s not unusual for cheese to spoil over time. But in this situation, we saw spoilage occurring before the “Best When Used By” Date. That is not acceptable to us. So we knew the right thing to do for our consumers was to voluntarily recall the affected product.
Again, we’re sorry that these products did not meet our standards and your expectations.
Shipped throughout the US, the affected products all have code dates from October 25, 2013 through February 11, 2014.
You can find the “Best When Used By” date on the back of multi-count packages toward the bottom. For string cheese products labeled for individual sale, the “Best When Used By” date is on the bottom front of the package. If you have purchased one of the recalled products, do not eat it, instead return it to the the store where purchase for a full refund or exchange.
You can see a full list of the affected products on Kraft’s website.
No other Kraft or Polly-O String Cheese or String Cheese Twists products — or any other Kraft Foods or Polly-O products — are being recalled.
