Kellogg Recalls 28M Boxes of Cereal

After roughly 20 complaints of foul flavors and odors coming from Kellogg products, the manufacturer voluntarily recalled 28 million boxes of breakfast cereals on Friday. Kellogg admitted there was “an uncharacteristic off-flavor and smell” caused by the box liners of Apple Jacks, Corn Pops, Froot Loops, and Honey Smacks products. Though it is unlikely to cause serious illness, the company took the measure because the tainted products could lead to nausea and diarrhea among sensitive customers. The affected boxes are those with the letters "KN" following the "better if used before.” Many products geared toward children have come under intense scrutiny in recent months after a slew of them were recalled, including 40 non-prescription products manufactured by Johnson & Johnson.
