The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced the recall of Aldi's shredded cheese. It has been recalled from around four states due to potential contamination from a foreign matter.
Aldi is one of the biggest supermarket chains in the United States and known for its offers and comparatively cheaper deals. It also brings some of its own products for customers that are quite popular.
However, around 4000 bags of their Happy Farms shredded cheese have been recalled by the FDA.

FDA has issued it as a Class II recall that specifies:
"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."
Customers who have purchased the product in any of the aforementioned four states are urged to check the following on the package:
