Costco is recalling a brand of cheese after reporting foreign plastic may be found in the product.
Headquartered in Washington state, Costco announced in a letter addressed to customers last week that it recalled some of its sold Tillamook cheese slices because of "gray and black plastic pieces that may be present in a limited quantity" of the product.
"If you have already consumed the product without issue, you do not need to take any action, as the likely presence of the foreign plastic material is very minimal," Tillamook County Creamery Association Executive Vice President Mike Beaver, wrote in the June 1 letter obtained by USA TODAY.
It was not immediately known if anyone has had an adverse reaction from the product.
