NORTHFIELD, Ill. (AP) -The Kraft Heinz Co. is voluntarily recalling about 36,000 cases of Kraft Singles cheese products because some of the packaging film may stick to the slices and pose a choking hazard.

The recall applies to 3-lb. and 4-lb. sizes of Kraft Singles American and White American pasteurized prepared cheese product. The products being recalled have a “best when used by” date of Dec. 29, 2015 through Jan. 4, 2016, followed by the manufacturing code S54 or S55.
