Why it was recalled
Potential metal fragments from supplier raw material (downstream recall)
The FDA has since closed this recall out, which means the company finished removing the product from sale. It is kept here because a closed recall still matters to anyone holding a package bought before it ended.
What to do if you have it
Something physical ended up in the product, so the risk is injury rather than illness, and it is uneven: some packages carry it and most do not. That makes the lot codes below the whole decision. Do not pick through pizza style shredded cheese blend to check it yourself.
How to tell whether your package is one of them
A recall covers particular production runs, not everything the company makes, so the codes decide it. These are the ones the FDA published. Match them against what is printed on your package, usually near the best-before date.
