China?
Remember when Corn Pops used to be called Sugar Pops? I love Fruit Loops for evening snack. Anyway, we won’t have to worry about these food recalls for much longer, as I predict that soon the federal government will take over the packaged food industry, and they will take care of everything for us.

Is this new or did somebody finally call them on it?
Fifteen years ago, I appeared as an expert witness in a Kellogg’s lawsuit involving Eggo waffles. The Kellogg’s people had specified inferior sensors in an ammonia refrigeration system. The system failed and several million dollars worth of Eggo waffles were drenched with ammonia. Kellogg’s was suing the sensor maker to recoop losses from opening the boxes and putting the waffles in new containers. Their concern was for the carton not the waffle, which they stated that the cooking would drive off any residual ammonia. Kellogg’s lost the case and had to eat the repackaging costs.
I’ve never used Kellogg’s products since. They don’t care what they sell except that it’s pretty.
What does that have to do with the recall? Sounds like someone is on a crusade. Apart of the recall, if parents want or don't want their children to eat these cereals, that is up to them.
I’ve always made my cereal purchases based on the notion that there was more nutrition in the cereal box than in the contents.
Thanks for the headsup.
Not meaning to go green, but why do they have two packages for the product - the bag inside the box. There’s no need and the consumer has to pay for the packaging. Eliminate one or the other and lower the price. Plus less packaging equals less to go wrong.
Praise be to God that Cocoa Puffs are from General Mills.
