Kellogg’s Recalled Cereals Include Apple Jacks and Corn Pops
June 25, 2010 by Nancy
Filed under Featured Story, Food Fun
Kellogg’s recalled cereals include Apple Jacks and Corn Pops along with Fruit Loops and Honey Smacks.
Working in consultation with the US Food and Drug Administration, the popular cereals are being voluntarily recalled by the Battle Creek, Michigan company because they do not meet quality standards. Apparently there is a substance in the package liners that can create an “uncharacteristic waxy-like taste and smell.”
Symptoms caused from eating the recalled cereals include diarrhea and nausea.
Approximately 28 million boxes of the recalled products were distributed nationwide.
For full information regarding the Kellogg’s recalled cereals, you can visit their website or call the Kellogg customer response center at 888-801-4163.
