Oregon-based Tillamook County Creamery Association has issued a recall for cheese products sold through Costco outlets, citing the risk of plastic contamination.

Costco members who bought 32-oz. twin-pack packages of Tillamook Colby Jack and Tillamook Monterey Jack cheese slices between May 9 and May 31 were sent a letter this month warning about the contamination.
