Thank you! I have 2 boxes of Froot Loops. I am already on the phone.
Thanks so much … I have posted this also since seeing your post! I have 2 boxes as well that I had just purchased.
bwahahahahaha I might… but they’re gone now! lolol
I had 8 boxes that were recalled(and others that weren’t in the recall). Throwing them out now!!
Thanks for the info. I am checking my boxes.
I have a 21.7 oz box is that included in the recall? my son loves these,we buy them all the time.
Thanks. I had a box of Fruit Loops that was recalled.
I had 3 boxes that were safe! Yay!
But I was looking forward to feeding the ducks at our local pond if they were recalled.
Yea Anna D. all mine was safe. Don’t throw them out feed them to the wildlife. I throw a handful everyday for the squirrels. They come all the time now. My cat loves it.
Went to the pantry and they are all gone….oops…the kids eat them so fast and we had all of those listed….well, no body got sick and I’ll write down the serial numbers just in case they were not removed from the commissary that I shop at!!!
Thanks calling to get our coupon. Box is almost finished which kind of makes you wonder though. Sucks but at least they recalled them voluntarily.
Ah, crud…. Giant of PA had a sale on these this week! I bought 6 boxes! Haven’t opened any yet… but now I’m out of cereal for the next few weeks and will be going into labor with my second child any MINUTE! ugh ugh…..
I know! Weis had the same Kellogg’s sale the week before and I got a bunch. Thankfully out of the 4 different cereals, only the Apple Jacks were affected!
Thank you so much for letting us all know. I have called and the replacement Q’s will be in the mail in 7 to 10 days.
oh thats for the update! too bad I put all of our cereal in cereal tupperwares and toss the boxes! uh oh
my box has a KNB by the date is this the same thing its in the foil bag?
I had the same question. Mine has KNA under the date.
Thanks for the info. I just looked and I have a Honey Smacks that has the same UPC but says better if used by Mar 02,2011. Do you think it’s ok??
I have 2 boxes of Honey Smacks for myself. I am on the phone now
Thanks for this. We don’t normally buy these but I let my girls pick them for a treat. Now I have to throw one out.
When I called I started to get on a neverending loop of the list of cereals recalled and had to hit zero to start the part to give my information.
Thank you! I sat there listening over and over till I came back and read your comment.
I also had Froot Loops that were part of the recall. My Corn Pops were dated (use by) March 5 2011-so I hope they are fine because weve been eating them!
Just finished two boxes of Fruit Loops…not sure if they were part of the recall. Also, just finished a box of Raisin Bran, thank goodness they weren’t on there at least!
Thanks for the info. I had one box, but it was with the toy story movie money. Glad I already cashed in on the movie money last weekend!
Thank you! I will look in my cabinets
Whew! Checked my dates and I’m good. Thanks for the heads up!
