Kellogg Company Voluntarily Recall Select Boxes of Cereal

Due to an uncharacteristic off-flavor and smell coming from the liner in the package Kellogg Company is implementing a voluntary recall of certain breakfast cereals.

Although the potential for serious health problems is low, some consumers are sensitive to the uncharacteristic off-flavor and smell and should not eat the recalled products because of possible temporary symptoms, including nausea and diarrhea.

David Mackay, president and chief executive officer, Kellogg Company issued the following statement:

“We apologize to our consumers and our customers and are working diligently to ensure that the affected products are rapidly removed from the marketplace”.
