Kellogg, Del Monte issue recalls of cereal, vegetables

The Kellogg Company is voluntarily recalling 15.3-ounce packages of Honey Smacks cereal with the code number 3800039103, with best if used by buy dates of June 14, 2108 through June 14, 2019 and the 23-ounce size of the cereal with code number 3800014810 and best if used by buy dates of June 14, 2018 through June14, 2019 because the products have the potential presence of Salmonella.

 

Salmonella may result in serious illness, especially young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy people may experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain with the illness.

 

The illness usually lasts four to seven days, and most persons recover without treatment, however, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses.

 

Kellogg launched an investigation with the third-party manufacturer who produces Honey Smacks immediately after being contacted by the Food & Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control regarding reported illnesses.

No other Kellogg products are impacted by the recall.

 

The affected cereal includes the following varieties distributed across the United States as well as limited distribution in Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, the Caribbean, Guam, Tahiti and Saipan. The best if used by date can be found on the top of the cereal box, and the UPC code can be found on the bottom of the box.

 

Those who have purchased the potentially affected cereal should discard it and contact the company for a full refund. For more information visit kelloggs.com/honeysmacksrecall or call 1-800-962-1413 Monday – Friday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. ET.

 

 

Monday  Del Monte Fresh Produce N.A., Inc. is voluntarily recalling a limited quantity of 6 ounce, 12 ounce and 28 ounce vegetable trays containing fresh broccoli, cauliflower, celery sticks, carrots, and dill dip sold to select retailers in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Del Monte, notified of the outbreak by state agencies, recalled the products because they may be linked to this recent cluster of illnesses and have the potential to be contaminated with Cyclospora, a parasite that can cause the intestinal illness Cyclosporiasis.  

 

The Centers for Disease Control said the infection usually is not life threatening with symptoms of watery diarrhea (most common), loss of appetite, weight loss, cramping, bloating, increased gas, nausea and fatigue.  Less common symptoms are vomiting and/or low-grade fever.

 

The recalled products were distributed to: Kwik Trip, Kwik Star, Demond's, Sentry, Potash, Meehan's, Country Market, Food Max Supermarket and Peapod in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin and have "Best If Enjoyed By" date of June 17, 2018 or earlier.

 

Consumers who have the products in the recall should dispose of the product in an appropriate waste container. For inquires, call the 24-hour customer service line at 1-800-659-6500 or email Del Monte Fresh at Contact-US-Executive-Office@freshdelmonte.com.
