Kraft Recalls 242,000 Cases Of Macaroni & Cheese Due To Small Metal Pieces

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) -- Kraft Foods announced Tuesday that it was recalling 242,000 cases of its famous macaroni and cheese because there might be small pieces of metal in with the easy-to-cook food.

The affected boxes of original flavor Kraft Macaroni & Cheese had "best when used by" dates ranging from Sept. 18 to Oct. 11 of this year. They are marked with the code "C2."

They were sold throughout the U.S., Puerto Rico, and in some countries in the Caribbean and South America.

The recall covers 7.25 ounce boxes that were sold individually and in packs of three, four and five.
Kraft Foods Group Inc. said it is aware of eight incidents of consumers finding metal in the boxes, but hasn't been informed of any injuries.

It said consumers should not eat the macaroni, and should return it to the store where it was purchased for a full refund.
