Those who favor Kellogg's Mini Wheats Bite Size cereals, both the frosted and unfrosted kinds, might want to choose a different breakfast meal for the time being unless they want to find metal fragments in their food.

Kellogg's Company issued a recall for 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.

The incident will be a major blow to the company's sales. However, this is not the first time the brand had to recall one of their items.

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."

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.

Only last month, another major brand initiated a recall of one of their items, after it was linked to salmonella outbreaks across the nation,

The grocery chain Trader Joe's recalled their peanut butter that had been linked to 29 salmonella illnesses in 18 states, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The Food and Drug Administration, along with the federal Centers for Disease Control, said the Creamy Salted Valencia Peanut Butter, part of the Trade Joe's brand and which the grocery chain sells nationwide, is likely the source of the salmonella outbreak, according to the Times.

They also reported that more than three-fourths of those who became ill from the peanut butter were children under the age of 18.
