Kraft Foods Groups is voluntarily recalling about 1.2 million cases of cottage cheese because some ingredients used to make those products were not stored under proper temperature conditions. That could create conditions that would lead to premature spoilage and/or food borne illness, according to the company’s press release.
The recalled products include select types of Knudsen cottage Cheese, Breakstone’s Cottage Cheese, Simply Kraft Cottage Cheese, and Daily Chef Cottage Cheese. The long list of recalled products, along with the UPC numbers, code dates, and case codes and can be seen on the press release. These products were sold across the United States; they were not distributed outside the U.S.
The cottage cheese has code dates from Mary 9, 2014 through July 23, 2014. You can find the code date on the bottom of the cup or the top of the package. Simply Kraft products with a plant code of 36-2158 on the cups or a “W” in the case code are not affected. Simply Kraft products that are being recalled are only those with a plant code of 06-245 on the bottom of the cup and case code dates without any “W”. No other Knudsen, Breakstone’s, Simply Kraft or Daily Chef products are subjected to this recall.
The facility that made these products has stopped production and distribution while the company addresses the problem. If you purchased any of these products, do not eat them. Discard them or return to the place of purchase for a refund.
