Kellogg recalls cereals

NEW YORK - FOUL smells from some Kellogg Co breakfast cereals prompted the world's largest cereal maker to voluntarily pull millions of packages from store shelves around the United States.

Kellogg said on Friday it noticed 'an uncharacteristic off-flavour and smell' from the box liners of its popular Apple Jacks, Corn Pops, Froot Loops and Honey Smacks products.

The company said the chance of serious illness from the smell was low, but the products could cause nausea and diarrhoea among sensitive consumers.

Only US products marked with the letters 'KN' following the 'better if used before' date notice were affected, the company said. MORE
