The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is warning people not to consume a type of Black Diamond brand Fat-free Mozzarrella processed cheese slices because the product may contain small pieces of plastic mesh.
The CFIA says it's worried the material may pose a choking hazard.
The product in question was sold in 500-gram, 24-slice packages bearing a best-before date of 09 AU 09 REG1411 and the UPC code 0 68200 88837 8.
The product, produced by Parmalat in Belleville, Ont., is distributed nationally.
There have been two consumer complaints associated with the cheese slices. Parmalat Canada is voluntarily recalling the products from stores.
