Kraft Cheese Slices Recalled for Possible Choking Hazard

A voluntary recall on individually-wrapped American cheese slices is presently in effect, following a notice by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.  The request to return the Kraft Heinz Food Company product is due to the likelihood that a fine ribbon of individual packaging film may be stuck to the slice after the wrapping has been removed.  The FDA is concerned that the unresolved strip could potentially cause a choking hazard.  The Belize Agricultural Health Authority, BAHA, the Ministry of Health and the Belize Bureau of Standards is advising the public to return products with the manufacturing codes S54 or S55.  Consumers are also advised not to purchase items from any retail establishments selling the defective products.
