Kellogg recalls 36,000 packages of Special K cereals over glass fragments

US-based food company Kellogg is voluntarily recalling about 36,000 packages of its Special K Red Berries cereal as the products may contain glass fragments.

Three different sizes of the product are affected by this recall and the products were distributed to various retailers across the US.

The products being recalled include 11.2oz packs bearing UPC Code 38000 59923, with ‘Better if Used by’ date stamps of DEC 02 2013 KNC 105 00:13 through DEC 02 2013 KNC 105 02:30.

The recall also includes 22.4oz twin packs bearing UPC Code 38000 78356, with ‘Better if Used by’ date stamps of 30 2013 KNA 105 07:00 to NOV 30 2013 KNA 105 08:51 and NOV 30 2013 KNB 105 15:00 to NOV 30 KNB 105 17:05.

Kellogg is also recalling 37oz packages with UPC Code 38000 20940 and ‘Better if Used by’ date stamps of NOV 30 2013 KNB 107 17:31 to NOV 30 2013 KNB 107 20:05.

There have been no reported injuries associated with the consumption of these products, and no other Kellogg products, including those sold in Canada, are affected by the recall.

Customers who have purchased these products are advised to contact the company for a replacement coupon, according to Kellogg.

The company may also make arrangements to retrieve the product for further evaluation.

In October 2012, Kellogg recalled certain boxes and bowls of its Frosted Mini-Wheats cereal due to the presence of fragments of flexible metal mesh from a faulty manufacturing part.

In addition, the company also recalled millions of packages of its Corn Pops, Honey Smacks, Froot Loops and Apple Jacks cereals in June 2010 due to an off-flavour and odour from the liner in the package.
