I have 10 boxes of the recalled cereal. I have been on hold with Kellogg’s forever. They were on sale at Shaw’s in Maine plus I had coupons so I stocked up. I sent some with my kids on a camping trip so I hope they don’t eat them.
Oh Really Now
I am really shocked and highly skeptical it is just THESE 3 select cereals.. I had a box of Raisin Bran I bought earlier this year I thought smelled funky. Made eating seem funky too.
No, I didn’t buy it at CVS/Walgreens which some us smarter ones know that they are notorious for selling rotten dry goods. I bought it at a big box grocery store (Gint Foods fwiw). Figured it was just the store (Low-Turnover, item was not on sale..)
All be damned..

Just FYI, the Better If Used Before dates are for the year 2011, not 2010. It states it correctly in the link you gave us, but just didn’t want anyone to be confused. :) Thanks for the heads-up!

Ah, that makes much more sense — sorry about that!
Diana R.
Finally got to talk to a rep at Kellogg’s and they are sending me out replacement coupons for the ones I have at home and she gave me a ref. # to mail in the tops of the others that are with my kids on a camping trip. It took over an hour between being on hold and giving all the information. What a pain.

What all did you have to give them? I have boxes with “KN” and “KNB” but it is under the exp date? Thanks
Heidi
The problem is that my local store hates to redeem “free” coupons. They always act like they are fraudulent.
Diana R.
Heidi, the stores where I live act the same so when I get a coupon in the mail that is for free stuff I keep it attached to the letter or keep it in the evelope until I cash out so the clerk can see that it’s not fraudulent. Also the cereal seems to be the ones that are in the foil liners.

I have a box of Fruit Loops with exp date April 18, 2011. It has “KNB 003.” Is this the one of the boxes on the recalled list? I ask because I don’t know if there is a difference from the ones that just have “KN” vs ‘KNB” I’m quite nervous at the moment because my son ate a bowl of this cereal this morning.

Great! For those of us who stocked up to take advantage of the Toy Story 3 promo this is awful! I tore open the boxes to get the codes off boxes and recycled boxes and didn’t think of any reason to keep them. I don’t know if my cereals are in the recall or not. Will Kellogg’s honor a replacement for these? Anybody know? I will call them on Monday and report back, just curious if anyone else had this problem!
brittany
