Kellogg Company recalls packages of Corn Pops®, Honey Smacks®, Froot Loops®, and Apple Jacks®

I ate a large bowl of Fruit Loops on Father's Day and vomited all day. I had no idea it was due to the cereal I had eaten, although the new box didn't really taste right.

Now, I learn the United States Food and Drug Administration and Kellogg Company are recalling certain cereals due to an off-flavor and smell coming from the liner in the packages. And I just happen to have a recalled box of Fruit Loops.


Only products with the letters "KN" following the Better If Used Before Date are included in the recall. Products with a "KM" designation are NOT included in the recall. No products in Canada are affected.

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

No other Kellogg's products are part of this recall. The recalled products were distributed nationwide.

Those with questions or who would like a replacement may contact the Kellogg Consumer Response Center at 888-801-4163 from 8 am to 8 pm Eastern time.
