Breakstone's Cottage Cheese products recalled due to risk of plastic and metal contamination
Kraft Heinz Foods Company is voluntarily recalling certain lots of Breakstone's Cottage Cheese because of the possible presence of pieces of red plastic and metal.
A consumer reported finding a piece of plastic in a container of cottage cheese, prompting the company to investigate. No one has reported any injuries of illnesses connected to this problem so far.
"We deeply regret this situation and apologize to any consumers we have disappointed," the company said, according to a notice posed on the FDA's website. "Consumers who purchased this product should not eat it and return it to the store where purchased for an exchange or full refund."
