Kraft Foods Group is voluntarily recalling approximately 242,000 cases of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Dinner as some boxes may contain small pieces of metal.
The recalled product is limited to the 7.25-oz. size of the Original flavour of boxed dinner with the "Best When Used By" dates of September 18, 2015 through October 11, 2015, with the code "C2" directly below the date on each individual box. The "C2" refers to a specific production line on which the affected product was made.
Some of these products have also been packed in multi-pack units that have a range of different code dates and manufacturing codes on the external packaging (box or shrink-wrap), depending on the package configuration (see table below).
Recalled product was shipped to customers in the U.S, Puerto Rico and some Caribbean and South American countries – but not to Canada.
The affected dates of this product were sold in only these four configurations:
- 7.25 oz. box, Original flavour
- 3-pack box of those 7.25 oz. boxes, Original flavour
- 4-pack shrink-wrap of those 7.25 oz. boxes, Original flavour
- 5-pack shrink-wrap of those 7.25 oz. boxes, Original flavour
No other sizes, varieties or pasta shapes and no other packaging configurations are included in this recall. And no products with manufacturing codes other than "C2" below the code date on the individual box are included in this recall.
Kraft has received eight consumer contacts about this product from the impacted line within this range of code dates and no injuries have been reported.
