Mac & Cheese Recall – What Louisiana Shoppers Need to Know

It's a staple on tables from Crowley to Covington and Lacassine to Concordia Lake, it's American comfort food although we may take liberties with the seasoning, if you know what I mean, here in Louisiana. The food we are talking about is mac and cheese, or limp wet bread with melted cheese. Yeah, mac and cheese sounds better and if you're a fan then you should be aware of a nationwide recall involving mac and cheese products.

Based on information from a leading manufacturer of our favorite noodle smothered in a melty cheese sauce 8.95 million Americans wolfed down at least five servings of the stuff last year. And those figures are based on just that company's data. If you count all of the other places you could have gotten mac and cheese I am sure it would be more.

The reason we didn't identify the company mentioned above is because this story is about a recall of mac and cheese products. That company's products are not involved in this recall so we wanted to avoid any confusion.

But, what we have learned from the Food and Drug Administration is that a nationwide recall has been issued for frozen mac and cheese bites. The recall is a Class II risk according to the FDA. If you're wondering what a Class II risk means, here's how the FDA defines it.

use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

The initial product recall was made on February 5th but the FDA just released their recall risk assessment on February 19. Here are the particular details on the products involved in this recall.

Feel Good Foods has issued a voluntary recall for their Three Cheese Mac & Cheese Bites. The reason for the recall is the possible presence of metal pieces. The product pictured below, Feel Good Mozzarella Sticks is not recalled, but the packaging is similar in style and color to the recalled Three Cheese Mac & Cheese Bites. 

The products, which were distributed nationwide, are packaged in yellow cartons and have a net weight of 8 oz. The packing is similar to the product pictured above. They have "best by" dates of June 19 and 20, 2026. The lot numbers are 24354AV1 and 24355AV1, and the UPC code is 899039002808.

The company says about 4,246 cases of the recalled product were impacted by the initial recall and some of those products could still be in consumer's freezers. You're encouraged to check for the product in your home.

If you have any of the recalled items in your possession you may discard them or contact the company for a refund or replacement.
