The product recall has been issued for boxes of the cereal with best before dates  from December 6, 2024 to April 28, 2025.

Shoppers who have purchased a box with a best before date that is included in the recall are advised to contact Kellogg’s for a refund.

Kellogg’s said: “We have become aware of a very low level of small hard lumps forming in our new Kellogg’s Corn Flakes Chocolate Flavour. These hard lumps of food could cause dental harm or be a choking hazard and as a precaution we are recalling this product.”
