More than 1.5 million bags of shredded cheese sold at major retailers across the United States have been recalled over concerns about possible metal contamination, federal authorities say. The affected product, manufactured by Ohio-based Great Lakes Cheese Co., was believed to have been distribu ted in 31 states, including New York. The FDA classified it as a Class II recall, meaning there is a risk of temporary health problems or adverse effects, but says any emergent issues would likely resolve. The affected cheese was sold under private labels, including ones sold at Walmart, Target and Aldi. The affected cheese includes multiple brands of shredded mozzarella, shredded Italian-style cheese and shredded pizza-style cheese, along with various blends. Anyone with the recalled products should toss them or return them to their place of purchase for a full refund.
