Kraft Foods announced Sunday it is recalling about 96,000 pounds of Oscar Mayer Classic Wieners because the product may contain Classic Cheese Dogs in the Classic Wieners packages.
The company says the product labels are incorrect, and they do not reflect the ingredients associated with the pasteurized cheese in the cheese dogs.
The products were produced on March 2-3, 2014, and bear the establishment number “Est. 537H” inside the USDA mark of inspection. The products were distributed to Kraft distribution centers and in retail stores nationwide.
The following products are subject to the recall:
- 16 oz. packages –individual consumer packages– of “Classic Wieners Made with Turkey & Chicken, Pork Added” with “USE BY 16 Jun 2014” date and product code “044700000632”
- Cases of 16 oz. packages –distributed to retailers– of “Classic Cheese Dogs Made with Turkey & Chicken, Pork Added, and Pasteurized Cheese Product” with “USE BY 16 Jun 2014” date and case code “00447000005300”
The problem was discovered by a consumer who notified the company on April 18, 2014. The company contacted the USDA the following day regarding the issue.
FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
Anyone with questions about the recall should call Kraft Consumer Relations at 855-688-4386.
