Kraft Heinz says it is recalling 83,800 cases of individually wrapped Kraft Singles American processed cheese slices because of a manufacturing problem that could cause plastic film to stick to the cheese, creating a choking hazard.

The company said Tuesday that it started the recall after it received complaints from consumers.

Kraft Heinz said six people reported that they gagged or choked as a result, but that no injuries or serious health problems were reported.

The company blamed the problem on a "temporary issue" that affected one of its wrapping machines. It said it fixed the problem and inspected all of its other wrapping machines.

The recall applies to 16-ounce Kraft Singles American Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product with an individual package code of 0 2100061526 1 and "Best When Used By" dates of Jan. 10, 2024, through Jan. 27, 2024. The individual packages will contain an S and 72 in the manufacturing code.

The recall also includes 3-pound multipacks of Kraft Singles American Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product with a carton product code of 0 2100060491 3 and "Best When Used By" dates of Jan. 9, 2024, through Jan. 13 and Jan. 16, 2024.
