Major Shredded Cheese Recall Impacts Stores Across IN + KY

If shredded cheese is a staple in your fridge, you may want to hit pause before sprinkling it over tonight’s dinner.

Why the Shredded Cheese Was Recalled

More than 1.5 million bags of shredded cheese sold in Indiana , Kentucky , Illinois , Tennessee , and more than two dozen other states have been recalled after the potential presence of metal fragments was discovered in products from Great Lakes Cheese Company.

According to an FDA Enforcement Report, the recall is Class II, meaning the products could cause temporary or medically reversible health effects. No injuries or illnesses have been reported, but the company initiated the recall after a supplier alerted them to potential metal contamination in a raw ingredient.
