Alert! Kellogg’s Cereal Recall!

Our family goes through cereal like it is going out of style!  And Kellogg's has recently had some great sales/deals.  All of our stash is already gone (just finished the last Pops this morning) but this post from Bargain Briana, certainly caught my attention. Kellogg’s has identified a substance in the package liners that can produce an uncharacteristic waxy-like off taste and smell. Kellogg’s claims the potential for serious health problems is low but that you should not eat the recalled products because of temporary symptoms such as nausea and diarrhea.

The recall includes Froot Loops, Apple Jacks, Corn Pops, and Honey Smacks that have been sold around the country. Only products with the letters “KN” following the words “better if used before date” are included in the recall. If you have any of these cereals in your home, call Kellogg’s at 888-801-4163 for a replacement coupon.  Check out the Alert from Kelloggs here.
