Mozzarella cheese at heart of cheese recall

There’s a recall for more than 1.5 million bags of shredded cheese sold in 31 states, including Wisconsin, because of the potential for metal fragment contamination.

The FDA said that the various shredded cheeses were recalled by Great Lakes Cheese Co. The cheese products are sold under private store-brand labels at several retailers, including Target, Walmart and Aldi.

The recall includes various cheeses such as mozzarella, Italian style, pizza style, mozzarella and provolone and mozzarella and parmesan.

The recall has a Class II classification, which means the product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
