Sugar Buzz Kill

If you happen to have Froot Loops, their round (and equally delicious) cousin Apple Jacks and their puffy friends Corn Puffs and Honey Smacks in your kitchen, their funny taste may not have anything to do with accidentally leaving them open after a night of munchies. All of these cereals were recently involved in a voluntary recall from Kellogg's.

About 20 people reported having nausea and vomiting after eating those cereals. Which also sounds like something that may happen after a night of munchies, specifically drunken munchies. People who experienced these symptoms complained that the cereals smelled and tasted stale/ metallic/ waxey. Sounds delicious, right?

Kellogg's believes it has something to do with a substance on the liners. Right now they are investigating to see what that substance might be. According to Kellogg's, people who have consumed any of these are not at risk for any serious health affects. Additionally, you can be refunded by contacting 1-(888)-801-4163.

If you happen to have any of these gracing your cupboard or top of the refrigerator, look for a "KN" following the "Better If You Used By" Date. (See how those random letters come in handy?)
