Kellogg’s is recalling boxes of its chocolate cornflakes following complaints of hard lumps in the cereal which could create a choking hazard.<\/b><\/p>\n

The breakfast brand voluntarily asked consumers who had bought packs to dispose of them “as a precaution” after the issue was discovered.<\/p>\n

Kellanova, the company which manufactures the cereal, said the hard lumps “do not break down when eaten with milk” and could also potentially damage teeth.<\/p>\n

The Food Standards Agency said this<\/a> made the product “unsafe to eat”.<\/p>\n

Kellanova stressed that it believed only a “small proportion” of boxes could contain the lumps and that there was “minimal risk” to consumers.<\/p>\n

It said that the affected packs had been on sale since January – when the chocolate version was first launched – in Tesco, Londis, Budgens and Booker stores.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Kellanova said: “Clusters of cereal forming during production can be a normal occurrence and these usually break up when eaten or placed in milk.<\/p>\n

“But, when we spotted that hard lumps of cereal were forming in a very small amount of our new Kellogg\u2019s Corn Flakes Chocolate Flavour cereal, we took the decision to recall all product.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s important to say that the risk of injury from these hard lumps of chocolate cereal is minimal but we\u2019re not willing to compromise on quality or safety.”<\/p>\n

Consumers who own have bought 450g boxes with best before dates ranging from 6 December 2024 to 28 April 2025 have been urged to throw them away and contact the brand for a full refund.<\/p>\n

Kellanova said that other Kellogg’s Corn Flakes varieties it produces were unaffected by the issue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
