Popular Mac & Cheese Brand Has Been Recalled Nationwide—Here’s What to Know

Product recalls have been on the rise as of late, with some of our favorite foods being affected the most. There’s no downplaying the urgency of any recall, however, you can’t blame consumers for getting fed up in the process. It’s important for companies to get out ahead of any health issue, as well as communicate clearly with consumers so that they can feel safe purchasing the products they love.

According to a notice published on February 5, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is recalling 4,246 cases of Feel Good Foods’ Three Cheese Mac & Cheese Bites due to the potential of contamination with a foreign material. The notice specifically cites the discovery of small pieces of metal in the recalled products, officially landing this recall the title of a Class II event.

Per the FDA, a Class II recall is the second-most severe risk level a recall event can receive. It indicates a situation in which “the 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.”

While the recall is still ongoing, those with the described product in their possession are urged by the FDA not to consume it whatsoever. The recalled product comes in an 8-ounce box with UPC code 8-99039-00280-8, Lot Code 24354AV1 or 24355AV1 and Best By Dates of 6/19/26 or 6/20/26.
