Kraft Heinz is recalling more than 83,000 cases of individually wrapped Kraft Singles of American cheese slices after it was found that part of the wrapper could stick to the slice and become a choking hazard.

The company announced the voluntary recall in a statement on Sept. 19, pointing out that the recall affects a “limited number of customers” in the United States and comes as a precaution after one of its wrapping machines developed a “temporary issue” that makes it possible for a thin strip of individual film to remain on the slice even after it’s been removed from the wrapper.
