Another Day, Another Recall: Cheese Nips

Spinach, romaine lettuce, and meat recalls are bad enough. But Cheese Nips? Now I'm concerned.

Here's the deal from WGN TV News:

Mondelēz Global LLC issued the recall for a limited quantity of Cheese Nips in the United States due to the potential presence of plastic pieces from a food scraper. The company told the Food and Drug Administration that the particles were incorporated into the production process and impact a small amount of product.

Food and Drug Administration (FDA):

Mondelēz Global LLC announced today a voluntary recall of a limited quantity of Cheese Nips (11 oz. Box) product in the United States due to the potential presence of small food-grade yellow plastic pieces from a dough scraper that was incorporated into the production process of a small amount of product. The company became aware of this issue when yellow plastic pieces were noticed on the manufacturing equipment.

This recall is limited exclusively to the Cheese Nips product listed in the grid, available at retail stores nationwide.  No other Mondelēz Global LLC products nor any other geographies are included in or affected by this recall.

There have been no reports of injury or illness reported to Mondelēz Global to date related to this product.

Of course, folks on Twitter are weighing in with their thoughts. And, starting a debate over which is better, Cheese Nips or Cheez-its:

This is just too contentious. I'm off to buy some Goldfish.
