Back in October, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a recall on shredded cheese produced by Great Lakes Cheese Co. Inc. and were sold at several major retailers like Target, Walmart, and Aldi. However, on December 2nd, the risk was updated by the FDA to a Class II. This new risk level is the second-highest and means that the chance of a serious health consequence is remote, but if you consume this product there is a possibility of temporary or reversible effects.
