Kellogg’s Cereal Recall 2010: Over 28 Million Boxes Affected

We’ve already heard of quite a few different recalls this year including cars, cribs and food. And while we are speaking about food recalls, there now appears to be another. Kellogg Co. has just announced that they are recalling some of their children’s cereals.

According to Dylan at news.spreadit.org, Kellogg is recalling over 28 million boxes of children’s cereal, because of unpleasant smells and flavors that the packaging it comes in was producing. The cereal company said that the odor could cause diarrhea and nausea.

The company’s representative Adaire Putnam went on to explain that the voluntary recall affects Kellogg’s Apple Jacks, Kellogg’s Corn Pops, Kellogg’s Froot Loops, and Kellogg’s Honey Smacks, with best-before dates ranging from March 26th, 2011 to June 22nd, 2011.

About 20 people have reported both nausea and vomiting after being exposed to the packaging involved, the spokeswoman went on to explain. A press release from the company is now asking consumers to immediately dispose of boxes that they may have in their home.

    ANOTHER BIG REASON to eat organic foods. No wonder why 66% of Americans are either overweight or obese, from eating THIS CRAP!

    that doesnt even make sense they wouldn't gain wait if they are vomiting , besides cereal is healthy for you and whn you eat breakfast you usually eat less throughout the day

  • Amie Dobbs

    Thats what I would like to know bc I just found out and my son was hospitalized for nausea and vomiting, due to becoming dehydrated. I myself just learned about this recall and I have a box in my cabinet which is my sons favorite cereal!! Anyone have any ideas on where to go from here?

    While I agree with organic foods, they have been recalled too. Don't you remember the kids that died after drinking organic apple juice a few years ago and there were organic vegetables recalled last year. The best defense is to grow your own when possible or go to a pick and pay farm.
