Kellogg's Mini-Wheats Recalled for Metal Fragments

Kellogg's has voluntarily recalled 2.8 million boxes of Frosted and Unfrosted Mini-Wheats due to a possible metal mesh in the cereal from a faulty manufacturing part, the company said this past week.

The massive recall will cost Kellogg $30 million, the company said on Wednesday, according to the Wall Street Journal.

No injuries have been reported and the company was quoted by Equities  saying, "the public is not at a high risk."

Products covered by the recall include Frosted Mini-Wheats Bite Size Original and Mini-Wheats Unfrosted Bite Size with the letters KB, AP or FK before or after the "Best If Used Before" date.
