Kraft Recalls 36,000 Cases of Individually-Wrapped Cheese That Pose Choking Hazard
ktla ^ | August 2, 2015 | cnn wire

Posted on 08/02/2015 10:57:35 AM PDT by BenLurkin

The recall includes certain 3- and 4-pound packages of American and white American slices, Kraft said. Those affected have a “best when used by” date between December 29, 2015, and January 4, 2016, followed by the manufacturing code “S54″ or “S55.”

“A thin strip of the individual packaging film may remain adhered to the slice after the wrapper has been removed,” Kraft said. “If the film sticks to the slice and is not removed, it could potentially cause a choking hazard.”

The company said it has received 10 complaints and three reports of choking.

They should issue a recall cuz it ain't cheese, not cuz you could choke on the wrapper.

I've had wheel bearing grease taste better on a sammich than that.

I was free and clear. I was living the dream. I was stripped to the waist eating a block of cheese the size of a car battery.

That just means there are 13 idiots out there that should be taken out of the gene pool.

10 complaints? 3 alleged choking incidents?

Good Grief.

How many millions of Kraft cheese slices are consumed each year?

I’ve got some of the American cheese slices in my fridge right now. Perfect for cheeseburgers on the grill! Melts the cheese and the plastic!!! 8^)

Best thing to do with Kraft singles (sans wrapper)
http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=453608
Crispy Cheese Crackers
“Fold split one square of cheese into 16 tiny squares. Arrange on a sheet of parchment paper in somewhat of a ring around the edges of the paper.
Don’t place the cheese squares too close together or they’ll stick to each other.
Don’t place any in the center of the paper or they will burn before the outer squares are done.
Microwave on HIGH about 65 seconds, or until the crackers are well-browned, but not burnt.
Remove the parchment from microwave and let the crackers cool slightly before removing them from the paper.”

Same here, I’m planning to make my Cheese Grill Sandwich for lunch. I also not intend to choke on plastic. Looks like people are too dumb to unwrap the cheese and can’t tell if the wrapper is stuck to the cheese.

It's not cheese. It is American Cheese-like Substance.

No biological entities have been harmed in its manufacture.

If you want a good cheese on your sammich, try Sargento. It is really good cheese.
