Shredded Cheese Recall: Potential Metal Contamination Prompts Consumer Concerns
A recall has been issued for over 260,000 cases of shredded cheese sold across 31 states and Puerto Rico due to potential metal fragment contamination, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Great Lakes Cheese Co. initiated the recall, impacting various store-brand labels at retailers like Target, Walmart, and Aldi. Affected cheeses include mozzarella, Italian style, pizza style, and blends. The FDA classifies this as a Class II recall, indicating a potential for temporary or reversible health issues, such as dental damage or lacerations, if ingested.
