Northfield, Ill.-based Kraft Foods Inc. has responded to a written notification from the FDA for violating federal labeling requirements in connection with its use of milk protein concentrate (MPC) in products including Kraft Singles, Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and Velveeta. The warning is not expected to impact MPC import levels as Kraft reports it will change its label to comply with FDA regulations and will continue to utilize MPC. Kraft reports it is updating its product labeling to reflect additional calcium content and will be labeled as "pasteurized prepared cheese product" so that the products in question would no longer fall under regulated categories. I found this by googling FDA warning on Velveeta...

I am so tired of clicking on a site, thinking I am going to get information that AOL has, in fact, advertised and find absolutely nothing remotely concerning the subject!

Hey AOL, stop the yellow journalism like the AP is using, The AP is fraught with fraud and deception. This thing on the FDA and Velveeta is identical to the AP's games. SO, WHERE is the article?
