Off-Taste and Smell Prompted Kellogg To Recall Breakfast Cereals
On Friday, Kellogg noticed 'an uncharacteristic off-flavor and smell' from the box liners of its popular Apple Jacks, Corn Pops, Froot Loops and Honey Smacks products — prompting them tovoluntarily recall the said line of breakfast cereals products from store shelves across the United States.
The company admitted that while the chance of serious illness from the smell was low, the products could cause nausea and diarrhea among sensitive consumers. Only the U.S. products marked with the letters 'KN' following the 'better if used before' date notice were affected by the said recall.
With product recalls such as this one, children are affected the most. We parents should always be vigilant in choosing the food products that we buy from grocery stores and always be aware of recalls such as this one.
