THE Kraft Foods Group has announced the voluntary recall of nearly 250,000 cases of Kraft macaroni and cheese dinner due to the possibility that some boxes may contain small pieces of metal.
According to Kraft Foods, the recall only applies to the 7.25oz boxes of the original flavour product with a “use by” date of September 18 to October 11, 2015.
The company claimed the boxes of possibly metallic mac and cheese will have a code of “C2” beneath the “use by” line. Kraft officials added that some of the boxes could be in multi-packs with varying codes.
In the recall notice Kraft says it has in recent days received notifications from eight consumers that they had been affected by the product, but the group claimed no one had been injured.
“Consumers who purchased this product should not eat it,” the notice said. “They should return it to the store where purchased for an exchange or full refund.”
The recalled product was distributed nationwide in the United States, Puerto Rico and some Caribbean and South American countries – but not to Canada.
Last night, The Tribune was not able to verify if any local stores had received any of the tainted shipment. Residents are asked to be vigilant when purchasing any 7.25oz box of Kraft macaroni and cheese to ensure that they are not affected.

What's a bit of metal going to do to you? :)) just joking. Accidents happen! They're products are always good and they have a good reputation. I don't think this will have a very bad effect on business. http://blog.costinesticazare.net/cado...">Ian

I'd much rather the company be honest and proactive about it then try to not claim any responsibility. Checked my cupboard, we are all good.

Yep ................... but the majority of the food we get in our country from overseas is either inferior quality or knockoff /recycled products made by a thirdparty company for a US brandname ................ do you think the Kraft company really made that product in the US???
That is why BAMSI is so important ............ it needs a manufacturing component as well, and then for the Bahamian government to put tariffs on foreign products that can be grown/made in The Bahamas.
