Kraft Foods Group announced Friday a cheese recall affecting some varieties of Kraft and Polly-O String Cheese and String Cheese Twists products.

Kraft Cheese Recall 2013
According to the company, the said products may spoil before the "Best When Used By" dates indicated on their packages, leading to product discoloration.

"We’re sorry that some of our Kraft and Polly-O String Cheese products did not meet our high standards," the company said. "And we deeply regret if you have experienced any inconvenience due to our voluntary recall on October 25, 2013."

It added, "As you may know, these are natural cheeses that contain no added preservatives, and it’s not unusual for cheese to spoil over time. But in this situation, we saw spoilage occurring before the 'Best When Used By' Date. That is not acceptable to us. So we knew the right thing to do for our consumers was to voluntarily recall the affected product."

The Kraft cheese recall affects approximately 735,000 cases of the affected products distributed across the United States. They all have code dates from October 25, 2013 through February 11, 2014.
