The Major Kraft Mac And Cheese Recall That Went International
The equivalent of roughly 19.5 million bowls of Kraft macaroni and cheese were recalled because the product was unsafe to eat back in 2015. Single boxes, as well as 3-, 4-, and 5-packs, of dried noodles and powdered cheese, unfortunately, also potentially contained stray pieces of metal. The unwanted addition ended up in the boxes of mac because of a machinery issue; it was found that two pieces of stainless steel were rubbing against each other in a piece of equipment, which caused metal fragments to fall into the food. This recall included a total of 6.5 million boxes across countries in South America and the Caribbean, such as Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, and the Virgin Islands, as well as the continental United States and Puerto Rico. Obviously, accidentally ingesting metal could be very serious, and eight people did discover pieces in their boxes of mac. However, there were no reports of any injuries or illnesses related to the foreign object contamination.

As such, this was not the only time Kraft had issues with inedible items in its products. There have actually been a number of Kraft Food recalls that affected millions, including one that had to do with a Kraft Singles choking hazard. Because of a packaging snafu in September 2023, the plastic film covering each piece of processed cheese failed to come off in one fell swoop in some cases. The strip of plastic that was left behind on the slices caused gagging and, in some cases, choking, but there were no reports of serious injuries or illnesses. You would think that the company would figure out a way to avoid this issue, but this has actually been a recurring recall. After the metal mac and cheese incident in March 2015, Kraft Singles were recalled for the very same plastic film issue in both July and September. When it came to food safety, 2015 wasn't a great year, both for the Kraft Company and lovers of processed American cheese products. For more food and drink goodness, join The Takeout's newsletter.

Finally, at Procter & Gamble, he spent nearly 15 years in finance roles, rising to become chief financial officer of the Asean, Australia, India, Singapore region in the company's health and beauty Care division. 'We are thrilled to welcome Amit to Kenvue and look forward to leveraging his deep industry expertise and business transformation experience as we continue to focus on accelerating Kenvue's profitable growth and delivering value for shareholders,' said Thibaut Mongon, chief executive officer, Kenvue, which also owns the Aveeno, and Johnson's brands, among others. 'With much of the work to establish Kenvue as an independent company completed and our strengthened commercial and operational foundations in place, now is the right time for a CFO transition. Amit is a world-class executive with a proven track record across both financial and operational roles and the ideal person to further support our efforts to work differently and move faster and lead our Finance and Strategy organizations into the future.' In 2024, the New Jersey-based firm reported flat sales of $15.5 billion for the full year ended December 29, on the back of softer-than-expected sales growth.
