Cheerios and Honey Nut Cheerios Recalled

If you have Cheerios or Honey Nut Cheerios at home you may want to check them.

According to the CBS this morning twitter account, General Mills is recalling 1.8 million boxes of Cheerios and Honey Nut Cheerios produced at a plant in 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 company says that wheat flour was inadvertently used in a system that normally processes gluten-free oat flour.

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 of July 12 to 25, 2016.

The use of wheat flour means that the cereals are not gluten-free and people with conditions like wheat allergies or celiac disease who consume it might suffer an allergic reaction or discomfort.

General Mills has announced that if you do have any of these boxes of cereal and have an allergy you can contact the company for a full refund. They also have taken steps to make sure that all affected boxes of cheerios and honey nut cheerios have been taken out of warehouses and off of supermarket shelves.
