Kellogg’s Mini-Wheats Recall: Watch Magnet Pick Up Metal Fragments Found in Cereal (Video)

Kellogg’s has issued a massive recall of multiple lots of their popular Mini-Wheats cereals due to the possibility of metal shards in the product due to a malfunctioning machine at the plant.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the cereal giant issued the following statement:

 ”According to Dr. David Acheson, an internal medicine physician and former Chief Medical Officer at the FDA Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) with whom we consulted, the likelihood of these fragments making their way into the food is low; furthermore, the chances that any affected food will cause injury is low.”

The WSJ also found a pretty amusing YouTube video, in which Midland13 picks up some Mini-Wheats with a rare earth magnet. Guess it’s all that nutritious iron under the frosting:

Here, by the way, are the UPC codes from the recalled cereal, as listed on the FDA’s recall website:
