Kellogg’s Cereals Recalled

Kellogg’s Cereals Recalled

The Kellogg Company (of Battle Creek, Michigan), in conjunction with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has issued a voluntary recall of four popular breakfast cereals: Kellogg’s Apple Jacks, Kellogg’s Corn Pops, Kellogg’s Froot Loops and Kellogg’s Honey Smacks.

The Kellogg’s product recall includes 28 million boxes of Kellogg’s breakfast cereals:

Kellogg's® Apple Jacks®

UPC 3800039136 1: 17 ounce package with Better if Used Before Dates between APR 10 2011 and JUN 22 2011

UPC 3800039132 3: 8.7 ounce packages with Better if Used Before Dates between JUN 03 2011 and JUN 22 2011

Kellogg's® Corn Pops®

UPC 3800039109 5: 12.5 ounce packages with Better if Used Before Dates between MAR 26 2011 and JUN 22 2011

UPC 3800039111 8: 17.2 ounce packages with Better if Used Before Dates between MAR 26 2011 and JUN 22 2011

Kellogg's® Froot Loops®

UPC 3800039118 7: 12.2 ounce packages with Better if Used Before Dates between MAR 26 2011 and JUN 22 2011

UPC 3800039120 0: 17 ounce packages with Better if Used Before Dates between MAR 26 2011 and JUN 22 2011

UPC 3800039125 5: 8.7 ounce packages with Better if Used Before Dates between MAR 26 2011 and JUN 22 2011

Kellogg's® Honey Smacks®

UPC 3800039103 3: 15.3 ounce packages with Better if Used Before Dates between MAR 26 2011 and JUN 22 2011

Kellogg’s cereal products affected by the product recall were distributed nationwide – throughout the United States. No Kellogg’s cereal products in Canada have been recalled at this time.

Only Kellogg’s cereal products carrying the letters “KN” (after the “Better if Used Before Date”) are included in the recall. Products listing the letters “KM” (after the “Better if Used Before Date”) are not included in the recall.

Why did Kellogg’s issue the cereal recall?

A strange flavoring and odor have been detected in samples of these cereals, probably coming from the wax liners inside the cereal boxes.

Although these products are unlikely to cause serious health problems, certain individuals may suffer such temporary symptoms as diarrhea and nausea from consuming affected cereal products.

Kellogg’s will offer replacement products for the recalled cereals. Customers may call the Kellogg Consumer Response Center at 888-801-4163 from 8 am to 8 pm Eastern time.

Hey, Regis. I Won't Eat Shellfish, Either.

Hey, Regis. I Won't Eat Shellfish, Either.

Regist Philbin visited with David Letterman this week on the "Late Show with David Letterman." Regis Philbin, host of "Live with Regis and Kelly) confessed that he had never before eaten a clam, mussel, oyster or caviar.

Eric Ripper, a celebrity chef, appeared on the set with a tray of prepared shellfish, which David Letterman then offered to Regis Philbin.

"I've looked at it once or twice, but it's not for Regis," Regis Philbin said. "Honest to God, I've very, very terrified of them. They don't look right! They look weird!" 

"C'mon, you're such a wuss," David Letterman said to Regis Philbin. "Have a clam."


Here's the video:

Hey, Regis. I won't eat shellfish, either. But I'm allergic - with anaphylactic allergies to shellfish. So I have, in effect, a doctor's excuse. (Back off, David Letterman. Even your celebrity chef can't entice me to indulge.)

Is the world your oyster? Do you love clams and mussels? How do you feel about caviar? Do you prefer lobster, crab or shrimp?

Tobacco-Addicted Toddler?

Tobacco-Addicted Toddler?

An Indonesian family has lit a fiery debate by allowing their toddler to smoke cigarettes.

Two-year-old Ardi Rizal is addicted to nicotine. Just ask his dad, Mohammed Rizal (30), who spends at least two dollars a day to support his toddler son’s tobacco habit. Apparently, the young Sumatran boy has total tantrums when his parents threaten to cut off his cigarette supply.

(Ardi Rizal - smoking toddler - photo from The Money Times.)

Ardi Rizal’s mom, Diana Rizal (26), has said that she knows her son has a serious situation with cigarettes and that she is hoping to seek medical treatment for his chain-smoking problem. 

Diana Rizal also confessed that she smoked cigarettes throughout her pregnancy with Ardi.

 

Parents (and others) around the world have buzzed furiously about the smoking toddler, Ardi Rizal. Many have criticized the chain-smoking two-year-old’s parents, who have admitted to allowing their son to pursue his smoking habit. Mohammed Rizal has confirmed that he gave his toddler son his very first cigarette (when the boy has about 18 months old).

Holy smokes!

Why would a two-year-old even be allowed to play with anything incendiary – let alone a smoking cigarette? And what about those young playmates, who breathe second-hand smoke from the smoking toddler?

Here’s the controversial video of the smoking toddler:
