A Class II recall is “a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote,” the FDA said.
The FDA said that if you have the recalled cheese, you should throw it away or return it for a refund, the “Today” show reported.
