Food Recall: Kraft Jalapeño String Cheese

Oct 09, 2012

Potential Choking Hazard Prompts Product Recall

Northfield, Illinois-based Kraft Foods has issued a voluntary product recall for their Jalapeño variety of Kraft String Cheese with a “best when used by date of Nov. 23, 2012”, which can be found in the lower right corner of the package. This product is sold in a 12-ounce bag with 12 individually wrapped cheese strings. The recall comes after the company discovered a thin layer of plastic film could stick to the cheese and thus pose a risk for choking. The company has received one consumer complaint about the sticking plastic.

The recall affects approximately 2,700 cases of Kraft Jalapeño String Cheese, which were produced in Campbell, New York, and distributed across the U.S. Consumers affected by the recall can return the product in question to the store they purchased it, for an exchange or full refund. Consumer can also direct their questions to Kraft Foods Consumer Relations by calling 1-800-396-2133.

Video: A chain harrow is a game changer

Utilizing a rotational grazing method on our farmstead with our sheep helps to let the pasture/paddocks rest. We also just invested in a chain harrow to allow us to drag the paddocks our sheep just left to break up and spread their manure around, dethatch thicker grass areas, and to rough up bare dirt areas to all for a better seed to soil contact if we overseed that paddock. This was our first time really using the chain harrow besides initially testing it out. We are very impressed with the work it did and how and area that was majority dirt, could be roughed up before reseeding.
