Cheerios recalled

October 7, 2015

Foster’s Food Fair – IGA would like to announce that General Mills Inc. is recalling 1.8 million boxes of Cheerios and Honey Nut Cheerios produced at a plant in Lodi, California, saying the cereal is labeled gluten-free but actually contains wheat. The recall affects Cheerios and Honey Nut Cheerios that were made in July. The Minneapolis Company said Monday; wheat flour was inadvertently used in a gluten-free oat flour system. The use of wheat flour means the cereals are not gluten-free, and people with conditions like wheat allergies or celiac disease who consume them might suffer an allergic reaction or discomfort.

Foster’s Food Fair – IGA locations do carry this product, however did not receive a shipment of the affected product.

The cereal boxes have the plant code “LD”. The Cheerios have “better if used by” dates from July 14 to July 17, 2016 and the Honey Nut Cheerios have “better if used by” dates from July 12 to 25, 2016. See below affected product information:
