General Mills Recalls Some of Its Cheerios Products

General Mills recalls some of its cheerio products

General Mills recalls part of its cereal products.
Food manufacturer General Mills said Monday
that it will recall an estimated 1.8 million boxes of its Cheerios and Honey Nut Cheerios cereals due to an incident that may have added wheat into products labeled as gluten free.

The Minneapolis- based company said in a press release that Cheerios and Honey Nut Cheerios cereals produced at its Lodi, California facility on certain dates might trigger illness or severe reactions for people with wheat allergies, celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
This recall includes four days production of original Cheerios and thirteen days of production of Honey Nut Cheerios at that California facility.
"Our Lodi production facility lost rail service for a time and our gluten-free oat flour was being off-loaded from rail cars to trucks for delivery to our facility on the dates in question," Jim Murphy, president of General Mills’ cereal business, said in a statement on a company blog. "In an isolated incident involving purely human error, wheat flour was inadvertently introduced into our gluten-free oat flour system at Lodi."
General Mills shared information via social media, as well as on its website, on how consumers can identify the boxes that are being recalled.
