Velveeta update!!!!



Following up on an earlier Velveeta post ...

Kraft Velveeta Cheesy Skillets recalled over soy


A food maker is recalling some Kraft Velveeta pasta and ground beef products because some labels left off soy, an allergen, as an ingredient.

About 1.77 million pounds of Kraft Velveeta Cheesy Skillets Singles Ultimate Cheeseburger Mac are being recalled. They contain hydrolyzed soy protein and dried soy sauce. Those ingredients were not listed on some labels.

The products, made by Truitt Brothers Inc. in East Bernstadt, Ky., have expiration dates of March 2 to Oct. 23 on them. They were sent to Kraft Foods distribution centers and retailers worldwide between May 2013 and January.

No other Velveeta or Kraft products are affected. No illness has been reported. Consumers with questions can call the Kraft Foods consumer relations center at 1-800-396-5512.

[Emphasis added: Michael] 

I assume no illness as a result of the error in labeling. No reports on how many people got sick just by eating Velveeta itself.

Velveeta has "SKILLETS"??? "CHEESY" skillets??? Are they allowed to call them "cheesy"? Or maybe that's the descriptive adjective "cheesy" and not a false claim that they are made with actual cheese. I love your last line!
