'Kraft Foods Group is voluntarily recalling approximately 242,000 cases of select code dates and manufacturing codes of the Original flavor of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Dinner – due to the possibility that some boxes may contain small pieces of metal. The recalled product is limited to the 7.25-oz. size of the Original flavor of boxed dinner with the "Best When Used By" dates of September 18, 2015 through October 11, 2015, with the code "C2" directly below the date on each individual box.  The "C2" refers to a specific production line on which the affected product was made.

Some of these products have also been packed in multi-pack units that have a range of different code dates and manufacturing codes on the external packaging (box or shrink-wrap), depending on the package configuration (see table below).

Recalled product was shipped to customers in the U.S. and several other countries, excluding Canada.  The affected dates of this product were sold in only these four configurations:

  • 7.25 oz. box, Original flavor
  • 3-pack box of those 7.25 oz. boxes, Original flavor
  • 4-pack  shrink-wrap of those 7.25 oz. boxes, Original flavor
  • 5-pack shrink-wrap of those 7.25 oz. boxes, Original flavor'

More details and dates on the website.

I ate my last box of mac n cheese last night. I heard about this recall before leaving for work this morning so I checked the package in the garbage and sure enough it was one of the recalled lots. 

Glad I am not the only one, got mine in the 5 pack

Any surprises in your supper. You got to hand it to Kraft they are backing their procedures.

Are you feeling an urge to listen to some Metallica?

Nope but I'd like to listen to the story about 'what happened'!   :secret:

Not feeling any urge to listen to Metallica, but I walked by one of our metal detectors today and it went off, I thought it was my belt but maybe it was something I ate.
