Kraft Foods has voluntarily recalled some varieties of their Kraft and Polly-O String Cheese and String Cheese Twists that are spoiling prematurely. "We’re sorry that some of our Kraft and Polly-O String Cheese products did not meet our high standards," the Northfield, Illinois based company said in a statement. "We deeply regret if you have experienced any inconvenience due to our voluntary recall on October 25, 2013."
The food processing company issues the recall of products that spoil before the suggest "best when used by date." The Kraft statement added, "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."
The string cheese product affected approximately 735,000 cases that were shipped throughout the U.S. and did not affect any product distributed in Canada. The affected products all have code dates from October 25, 2013 through February 11, 2014. The suggested "Best When Used By" date can be found in the bottom front of the package and no other products are being recalled at this time.
Kraft went forward with the voluntary recall after it received reports from consumers of the premature spoilage. The food processing company urges consumers who purchased the product on this list to not eat it and return it to the store where they purchased it. Kraft on their part has stopped production and distribution of the affected products and is continuing the investagion of the origin of the problem.
