The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has initiated a voluntary recall of select packages of Kellogg’s Frosted Mini-Wheats Bite Size Original and Mini-Wheats Unfrosted Bite Size because of possible metal mesh fragments from a faulty manufacturing part, according to the FDA.
Director of Schools Mark Willoughby said parents of students receiving food through the school system’s Backpack Program should especially be aware of this recall. “We suggest you follow the guidelines and discard any packages of Frosted Mini-Wheats that you might still have,” said Director Willoughby.
Recalled products include the letters KB, AP or FK before or after the Best If Used Before date.
