Kraft Recalls Batch Of Velveeta Because….Not Enough Preservative Makes Cheese Spoil Too Fast – Consumerist

If you’re thinking of whipping up a pot of creamy cheese dip this weekend, you might want to inspect your block of Velveeta carefully.

Kraft recalled a batch of the yellow gold Thursday, because the cheese might not contain enough preservative, The Chicago Tribune reports.

While a lack of preservatives in food might, at times, be a good thing, this apparently isn’t one of those cases. The inadequate amount means the cheese can spoil too fast, potentially causing a food borne illness – and nobody wants that.

The recalled batch, which comes in 32-ounce containers, was made on a single manufacturing line over a few hours of production.

Affected products will have a “best used by” date of December 17, 2014 and a time stamp between 09:34 and 13:15.
