You"ll definitely want to check your fridge before you make the kids a grilled cheese sandwich.  Kraft has issued a voluntary recall on over 36,000 boxes of sliced cheese.

The recall of individually wrapped cheese slices include both American and White American cheese Singles.

The recall is because of a possible choking hazard as the batches in question have been reported to retain a small strip of wrapping plastic. Several complaints have been filed, and three of those complaints involve consumers who choked on the small piece of packaging film.
