Hope you *don't* like Velveeta

Bit of an oopsie.

Thank goodness they don't use wood shelves though.

Summarizing the top of the story for those too busy to click. (For me it's a double no-go, because I don't eat Velveeta and I don't shop at Walmart. )

Kraft issues recall for Velveeta cheese

NORTHFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- Kraft said Thursday it is recalling 260 cases of Velveeta Original Pasteurized Recipe Cheese product from Walmart stores in up to 12 states, including Indiana, because the cheese lacks the proper amount of preservatives.

Insufficient levels of sorbic acid has led to the recall of 260 cases of Velveeta original pasteurized recipe cheese product because it could cause the cheese to spoil prematurely or cause food-borne illnesses.

Kraft Foods Group Inc. said the cheese was sent to three Walmart distribution centers and could have been shipped to as many as 12 states: Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

The company said the code on the packages is 021000611614. The packages also have a date stamp that reads "17 DEC 2014" and the timeframe is between 10:54 and 14:35.

So it'll only last 2 years instead of the usual 5?

That's too bad. Velveeta might be the only product in Wal-mart not sourced from China. (yet)

Seems like a waste to pull it off shelves. Why not call it Velveeta Organic and sell it for twice the price of regular faux-cheez?
