Kellogg’s: Whoops, your box of Special K may be filled with broken glass


The good news: Special K is totally free of horse meat. The bad news: it’s totally full of broken glass.

Kellogg’s is voluntarily recalling 11.2-ounce and 37-ounce packages of Special K with Red Raspberries, as well the as 22.4-ounce twin packs, due to the danger of consumers chewing mouthfuls of broken glass. And it’s not even Halloween.

“We have initiated a voluntary recall of three sizes of Kellogg’s Special K Red Berries cereal packages due to the possible presence of glass fragments,” the company said in a statement on its site. “Please check any packages you have in your home. If your package matches the information below, do not eat the food and contact us for a replacement coupon.”

Looks like you can now switch back to Cookie Crisp guilt-free.

Kellogg’s said no mouth-shredding injuries have been reported as of yet and “appropriate actions will be taken to help prevent this situation from happening in the future.”

      Raffi Zaki Is there some sort of trifecta in play here? Looks as though the author adopted it as well at the top of the article.
