Cheese Nips came out many years ago in 1955 but were recalled over plastic concerns in 2019, according to the FDA.

Multinational Chicago-based food and beverage company Mondelēz Global LLC announced a voluntary recall of the 11oz boxes of Cheese Nips.

“Due to the potential presence of small food-grade yellow plastic pieces from a dough scraper that was incorporated into the production process of a small amount of product,” the recall stated.

The company became aware of the issue when multiple consumers noticed pieces of yellow plastic in the product though there were no reports of injury or illness because of the snack before the pull.

The Kraft snack was the twelfth food product to be discontinued concerning the ingestion of plastic, NewsWeek reported.

When Mondelez brought Cheese Nips to shelves under its brand, Nabisco, the snack was originally used to compete against Sunshine Biscuit’s Cheez-It crackers.

Though Cheese Nips were recalled after 2019, lots of people are just now realizing why they’ve “been having a hard time finding them.”

Sharing a screen grab from Google revealing that the cheesy snack, a Twitter user said: “I am…devastated to find this out.”

They went on to add: “No wonder I’ve been having a hard time finding them. This is tragic,” with hashtags like #ripcheesenips and #discontinued.

Another person tweeted: “I miss cheese nips so much. Cheese it’s are yuck.”

A user added: “I miss cheese nips terribly.”

Chiming in, a different Twitter user said: “I miss Cheese Nips.”

Someone else simply posted a tweet asking: “Whatever happened to cheese nips?!

In reply to a person freaking out as they came to the realization that Cheese Nips were recalled in America years ago, a Twitter user gave them a glimmer of hope.

“They are still available in Canada, but they go by Cheese Nibs and are under the Ritz brand now,” they said.

While Cheese Nips fans in the US come to terms with the snack being gone, massive changes are rolling out at both Walmart and CVS that are impacting shoppers.

Pizza fans can rejoice as a popular pizza item is back on the menu at Little Ceasars.
