Kraft 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 produced at our Tulare, CA manufacturing facility. Some ingredients used in these products were not stored in accordance with Kraft’s temperature standards. While unlikely, this could create conditions that could lead to premature spoilage and/or food borne illness; therefore, the company is issuing the recall as a precaution. Approximately 1.2 million cases of affected product were shipped to customers across the United States.
The following products are included in this recall:
These products were shipped between March 1, 2014 and May 14, 2014.
Simply Kraft products with a plant code of 36-2158 on the cups or a “W” in the case code (e.g., “W 21 JUL 2014”) are not affected. Simply Kraft products subject to the recall are only those with a plant code of 06-245 on the bottom of the cup and case code date without any “W” (e.g., “21 JUL 2014”). No other Knudsen, Breakstone’s, Simply Kraft or Daily Chef products are impacted by this recall.
Please hold this product at the warehouse and remove it from retail store shelves. Your Kraft sales representative will be contacting the appropriate people within your organization to complete the recall as soon as possible and make arrangements for product disposition.
If you have shipped this product to other locations either within your own system or externally, please send this recall notice to them.
This recall should be carried out to the consumer level. Your assistance is appreciated and necessary to prevent consumer illness.
