The F.D.A. said it's a voluntary recall, and that no one has reported being sick, but there's concern because a supplier improperly stored one of the ingredients at a wrong temperature.
8,000 packages of individually wrapped American cheeses slices have been affected. The cheese packages come in a variety of sizes, but they all had a "best when used by" date of either February 20th or 21st of 2015.

A few jolts to the brain may give your memory a boost. Scientists at Northwestern University targeted a nerve hub called the hippocampus, which is a part of the brain that's associated with memory.
They found that stimulating the hippocampus with magnetic pulses improved memory by 30%, and that participants who received the treatment had an easier time remembering pictures paired with words.
Researchers said this non-invasive technique could be beneficial to Alzheimer's and stroke patients.
