A pretty serious food recall

 

We've all read innumerable recalls of various products for different reasons.  Some are just ho-hum, same old, same old, and all that.  However, a recall of shredded cheese sold in 31 states is potentially much more dangerous:  so much so that I thought it deserved mentioning it here.

Shredded cheese sold at major retailers, including Target, Walmart, and Aldi, has been recalled in 31 states and Puerto Rico, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The cheese, produced by Great Lakes Cheese Co. Inc., was initially recalled on Oct. 3 for containing metal fragments, which pose the risk of internal injury if consumed. On Dec. 2, the FDA updated the risk level to Class II, the second-highest, meaning the chances of serious health consequences are "remote," but there is a possibility of temporary or reversible effects.

There's a full list of affected products and brands at the link.  I highly recommend checking your groceries against that list, and getting rid of any that match.  Ingesting metal fragments is anything but funny - particularly if your kids are affected!
