Kellogg Recalls Frosted, Unfrosted Mini-Wheats Over Possible Metal Fragments

The cereal may contain fragments of metal mesh from a manufacturing part.

 

You'd better not eat those Mini-Wheats if they have a certain code on them.

Kellogg's has initiated a voluntary recall of some cereals due to the possible presence of fragments of flexible metal mesh from a faulty manufacturing part, the company said.

Products covered by the recall include Frosted Mini-Wheats Bite Size Original and Mini-Wheats Unfrosted Bite Size with the letters KB, AP or FK before or after the "Best If Used Before" date.
