Select batches of he company’s Kraft Singles — in three and four pound packages — are being recalled due to the risk of a small part of the packaging film sticking to the cheese slice after the rest of the wrapper has been removed. The film could cause consumers to choke, the FDA notes.

The specific cheeses affected include American and White American cheeses with a “Best When Used By Date” between Dec. 29, 2015 and Jan. 4, 2016.

A list of product codes used to identify affected packages can be found on the FDA website.

Kraft Heinz has received at least 10 consumer complaints about the packaging, and three reports of customers choking.
