Heads up, consumers: Mondelēz Global LLC is recalling some boxes of Cheese Nips over concerns the products are contaminated with “foreign material.”
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) posted a recall notice to its website on Wednesday. In the notice, the federal agency said the recall was initiated “due to the potential presence of small food-grade yellow plastic pieces” in the product. The plastic pieces came from a dough scraper “that was incorporated into the production process of a small amount of product,” per the release.
