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 explicitly states the risk is 'unlikely' and describes it as a voluntary precautionary measure regarding temperature standards, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.
Plain-English summary
Kraft Foods Group is voluntarily recalling 18 SKUs of Knudsen Cottage Cheese, nine SKUs of Breakstone's Cottage Cheese, five SKUs of Simply Kraft Cottage Cheese, and two SKUs of Daily Chef Cottage Cheese. These products were produced at the company's manufacturing facility in Tulare, California.
The recall is being issued because some ingredients used in these products were not stored in accordance with Kraft's temperature standards. The company notes that while unlikely, this could create conditions that pose a safety risk. The affected products include cottage cheese with 2% milkfat and pineapple, packaged in trays of four 4-ounce plastic containers.
The recall covers products distributed nationwide in the United States, including Puerto Rico. Consumers should check their pantries for these specific brands and SKUs. If they possess the recalled items, they should stop consuming them and follow Kraft Foods' instructions for disposal or return.
