Kraft recalls 96,000 pounds of Oscar Mayer Classic Wieners
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KSDK) – Kraft Foods Group is recalling approximately 96,000 pounds of Oscar Mayer Classic Wieners due to a labeling discrepancy, according to a news release.
Some of the products in question may contain Classic Cheese Dogs, thus rendering the product labels incorrect, since they don't mention pasteurized cheese. The dogs were formulated with milk, a known allergen.
The following packages, produced from March 2-3, 2014 with establishment number "Est. 537H" could be subject to recall:
• 16 oz. packages –individual consumer packages– of "Classic Wieners Made with Turkey & Chicken, Pork Added" with "USE BY 16 Jun 2014" date and product code "044700000632"
• Cases of 16 oz. packages –distributed to retailers– of "Classic Cheese Dogs Made with Turkey & Chicken, Pork Added, and Pasteurized Cheese Product" with "USE BY 16 Jun 2014" date and case code "00447000005300"
A consumer discovered the problem on April 18, according to the news release.
Soft as a pillowcase.
I would be so pumped to get a bonus Cheese Dog in a 10 pack of regular hot dogs. Just something to look forward to in the purchase. But noooo there's softies out there that can't eat Cheese (aka Fitzy) and caused a big stink about it and ruined 96,000 lbs of hot dogs.
What a colossal waste of food. People starving around the globe and because of 17 people with milk allergies, Oscar Mayer has to toss all this away. America really has it all backwards. Why couldn't they release a statement saying "We've started a new promotion where random cheese dogs have been inserted into classic hot dog packages. People that don't like cheese, it really sucks to suck."?
