Fonterra recalls processed cheese

Fonterra is recalling a slice cheese product in New Zealand, amid reports plastic is sticking to the cheesse once it's unwrapped.

According to stuff.co.nz, Fonterra has voluntarily recalled its Mainland Tasty Individually Wrapped Flavoured Processing Cheese Slices 250g with a best before date of 8 February, 2014. The slices have been sold in New Zealand's North Island and also in Fiji.

The recall came after two reported incidents of thin strips of plastic sticking to the cheese.

Fonterra Brands NZ sales director, Baden Ngan Kee, said "The plastic wrapping of individual slices may split into thin strips causing a potential hazard if consumed. There have been no reports of anyone being harmed."

Consumers should not eat the product but should return it to the point of purchase for a full refund.
