The recall comes after numerous reports from customers that the string cheese was going off before the date stated on the packs.
Kraft has stopped production and distribution on the affected products and is now investigating the reason for the problem. The company has confirmed that all the affected products came from a plant in Campbell, New York.
Any customers that find they have any of the affected products should not eat them, and instead return them for either an exchange or refund.

In October 2012 the company recalled the Jalapeno variety of its string cheese due to a thin layer of plastic film from the package. At that time it was reported there was a small chance the plastic could become stuck to the cheese, and if it was not removed well the product could become a potential choking hazard.
