Kellogg's Company has issued a recall of 2.8 million packages of their unfrosted and Frosted Mini-Wheats Bite Size cereal, after metal fragments were found inside the boxes.

The company is stating the recall is due to a manufacturing glitch that left packages with metal particles inside, The Christina Science Monitor reported.

"We have initiated a voluntary recall due to the possible presence of fragments of flexible metal mesh from a faulty manufacturing part," the food company said in a statement released through the Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday, Oct. 10. "Recalled products include only Frosted Mini-Wheats Bite Size Original and Mini-Wheats Unfrosted Bite Size with the letters KB, AP or FK before or after the Best If Used Before date."

The Battle Creek, Mich.-based company said affected boxes have "used by" dates between April, 1, 2013 and Sept. 21, 2013.

Kellogg's cereal is sold nationwide and has been a staple breakfast food in American homes for years. Aside from cereal, Kellogg's manufactures breakfast bars, frozen foods, beverages, toaster pastries, syrup, crackers and fruit flavored snacks.

The company stated that they issued the recall only as a precautionary measure.

"At Kellogg, our number one priority is the quality and safety of our foods and we take this situation very seriously," the company statement said.

So far, no injuries have been reported.

The Monitor added in their report that in 2010, Kellogg's faced another recall scandal. Four of their cereal brands - Fruit Loops, Corn Pop, Apple Jacks and Honey Smacks - were taken off the shelves of supermarkets because of a "weird smell and flavor attributed to a packaging snafu."
