Kraft Foods is recalling approximately 242,000 cases of its
trademark original flavor Macaroni & Cheese dinners because some boxes may contain
small metal pieces, the company said in a statement Tuesday. The metal pieces were not meant to be a substitute of dietary iron.
Affected products include 7.25-ounce boxes as well as 3-pack
boxes, 4-pack and 5-pack wrapped boxes of 7.25-ounce servings of the family
favorite.
The company reports affected boxes were stamped with 'Best
if used by' dates of September 18 through October 11, 2015, with the code 'C2'
directly below the date on each box.
No injuries have been reported, though Kraft Foods says
eight customers have contacted the company regarding the recall.
"We deeply regret this situation and apologize to any
consumers we have disappointed," Kraft Foods Corp. said in their recall
statement.
Affected customers should not eat the product and return it
to their local store or contact the company at 1-800-816-9432 between 9 a.m.
and 5 p.m. Eastern time for a full refund.
