I know many of you may have purchased Kellogg’s cereals lately with all the good coupons and sales so I wanted to alert you to the recall. If you haven’t heard, 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.
I checked our pantry and we don’t have any of the affected products in our stockpile or if we did, we already ate them.

Please check your pantry, don’t want any of you getting sick from these products!
We did have the recalled and it is funny because I noticed the funny taste (when I ate it solo but not so much with milk) and kept eating it!! I don’t think I got sick though.
Thanks for the alert. However we go thru cereal so fast- we’ve already eaten our Kelloggs stash. Hopefully no one will grow an extra toe or something! :)
