The Ohio-based Great Lakes Cheese Co. has initiated a 31-state recall of shredded cheese because of possible metal fragments in the products.
The Food and Drug Administration said the fragments may have come from a supplier of raw materials used to make the cheese.
The cheese was sold under multiple brand names, including Borden, Good & Gather, Great Value, Publix, Food Lion and Food Club, and at stores such as Walmart, Target, Aldi, Publix and H-E-B.
Products have expiration dates ranging from January 2026 through March 2026 and may still be in consumers’ refrigerators.
No injuries or illnesses have been reported.

The FDA classifies the action as a Class II recall — “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.”
Class I recalls are generally more serious, while Class III recalls rarely cause adverse health consequences.
