Included in the recall order were about 28 million boxes of selected packages of Kellogg’s Corn Pops, Kellogg’s Honey Smacks, Kellogg’s Froot Loops and Kellogg’s Apple Jacks.
Variety learned that 99 Cents Supermart in Garapan was among the first stores who pulled out Kellogg’s Froot Loops from their shelves on Monday afternoon.
“That was the only product that was available among those that must be recalled,” a store staffer told the Variety.
Other major grocery outlets in the island including Joeten stores and Han Nam in Koblerville said they have not received any notice of recall yet.
A Han Nam staff member said that it is the Department of Public Health and the distributing company of a specific product who issues the recall notice but they have not received any yet.
Last week, Kellogg Company in consultation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration implemented a voluntary recall of certain breakfast cereals because there was an uncharacteristic off-flavor and smell coming from the liner in the package.
