Henning's Wisconsin Cheese Colby Jack Recalled Due to Pasteurization Record Failure
Henning Cheese, Inc. is recalling 4,253 lbs of Colby Jack cheese because a temperature recorder failed to log pasteurization data for the first vat.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text describes a documentation failure (recorder jam) rather than a confirmed contamination or reported illness, fitting the criteria for a voluntary precautionary recall or minor labeling/documentation error.
Plain-English summary

The recall was initiated because a new pasteurizer and temperature chart recorder were installed, and the chart recorder paper jammed during the pasteurization of the first vat. As a result, the time and temperature of the milk were not recorded. The small sticker on the bottom of the 1 lb. and 2 lb. cheese packages has the first four digits of 1007. The Mammoth wheels list 4/10/17.
