Voluntary recalls

Nearly 5,000 pouches of shredded cheese sold at Aldi’s stores in four states have been recalled after a possible metal contamination, health regulators warn.

A voluntary recall says that 400 cases of Happy Farm’s Colby Jack Deli Sliced Cheese may contain stainless steel fragments, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Each cases includes 12 pouches of cheese that hold 12 ounces.

Exposure to the contaminants may cause temporary health risks with an unlikely chance of serious adverse health consequences, the FDA reports.

The Aldi products blend shredded Colby and Monterey cheeses sold in flexible plastic stand-up pouches.
