Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Recalled Because of Metal Fragment Risk

More than 200,000 cases of shredded mozzarella cheese and cheese blends have been recalled in 31 states because they may contain metal fragments, according to an enforcement report from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Affected retailers include Aldi’s, Publix, Target, and Walmart.

The recall is a class 2 event, which means the cheese “may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.”

The recalled cheese had sell-by dates through February and March 2026. You can find specific UPC codes and expiration dates on the FDA’s report.

The report didn’t indicate whether there had been any injuries reported, or what to do with the recalled cheeses. In general, the FDA recommends throwing away recalled foods or returning them to the place of purchase for a refund.
