Kellogg’s is recalling one of its popular cereals because the product is “unsafe to eat”.

The cereal giant is recalling its Kellogg’s Corn Flakes Chocolate Flavour because they may contain small hard lumps of food which are unsafe to eat.

The affected cereal comes in 450g packs and has a best before date between December 6, 2024 and April 25, 2025.

The Food Standards Agency is warning anyone who has purchased the cereal not to eat it.

A spokesman said: “Kellogg’s is recalling the above product. The company has issued a recall notice to its customers.

“These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.

“If you have bought the above product do not eat it. Instead, dispose of the product and contact Kellogg’s at https://www.kelloggs.co.uk/en_GB/contact-us.html for a full refund.”

A Kellogg’s spokesman added: “We have become aware of a very low level of small hard lumps forming in our new Kellogg’s Corn Flakes Chocolate Flavour.

“These hard lumps of food could cause dental harm or be a choking hazard and as precaution we are recalling this product.

“Please not that Kellogg’s Corn Flakes Original is NOT affected, nor is any other Kellogg’s product.”

What is a product recall?

If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product).

The FSA issues Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food.

In some cases, a 'Food Alert for Action' is issued.

This provides local authorities with details of specific actions to be taken on behalf of consumers.

  • Boeing finds new flaws in 787 jets: sources

    STORY: Boeing has found more quality problems on its jets. Reuters sources say the issues this time concern its 787 widebody planes. They say the aerospace giant has found hundreds of incorrectly tightened fasteners on some undelivered aircraft. The sources say the problem was discovered at plant in South Carolina, with the fasteners found to have been tightened from the wrong end. There is no immediate concern about flight safety, but one source says Boeing is trying to understand how the problem arose - and how much work it must do to remedy the issue.The company confirmed the checks to Reuters, and said there would be no impact on deliveries. Even so, it’s another concern for investors after a series of quality control issues at the company. Some of its big-selling 737 MAX jets were grounded for a time earlier this year after a midair blowout on one of the planes. The Federal Aviation Administration has blocked a plan to raise output of the model, while Boeing takes steps to ensure manufacturing quality. Regulators said they were aware of the new concerns regarding the 787, and would work with the company to determine appropriate action. Boeing shares are down around 30% this year amid all the problems.

    BMW's all-electric Mini made in China is set to be hit by the highest EV tariff of 38.1% under the EU's provisional plans, a source familiar with the matter said on Friday, a potential terminal blow for the mid-range car's sales prospects. Mass production of the roughly 35,000-euro ($37,345) vehicle, produced by a BMW and China's Great Wall Motor Co Ltd joint venture, began late last year - shortly after the EU launched its probe. With production still in early days, the JV was unable to fulfil the European Commission's survey to the level of detail required to be classed as a company cooperating with the investigation, the source said, declining to be named because discussions are private.
