Overview

  • Great Lakes Cheese Co. initiated the recall on October 3, and the FDA classified it as a Class II action on December 1 with the status listed as ongoing.
  • Affected varieties include shredded mozzarella, Italian-style, pizza-style cheeses and blends produced for private-label lines.
  • The products were sold at Target, Aldi, Walmart and HEB under brands such as Good & Gather, Happy Farms, Great Value and Hill Country.
  • The FDA report cites more than 250,000 boxes distributed across more than 30 states, including Puerto Rico.
  • Consumers are advised not to eat the listed products and to discard them or return them for refunds, as metal fragments can cause oral or intestinal injuries.
