A labeling mishap could mean an unexpected squirt of cheese filling your mouth when biting into an Oscar Mayer Classic Wiener. Kraft Foods has issued a Class I Recall of 96,000 pounds of the company's Classic Cheese Dogs that were incorrectly labeled as regular hot dogs. A consumer alerted the company to the mistake on Friday; aside from the unexpected dose of dairy, no adverse reactions have been reported.
Class I recalls are the most urgent category issued by the USDA, meaning there's a "reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death." Because the hot dogs contain dairy and are not labeled as such, the risk is high for consumers with a lactose intolerance.
Packages affected by the recall were produced on March 2nd and 3rd and bear the establishment number “Est. 537H” [pdf] inside the USDA mark of inspection.
