Mondelez Global, a subsidiary of Deerfield-based Mondelez International, has issued a voluntary recall of its belVita breakfast biscuits in the United States and Puerto Rico. Some of its apple cinnamon and chocolate flavored biscuits may contain fragments of metal mesh, the company said late Thursday, attributing the problem to a faulty screen.
Consumers who have these biscuits should discard whatever they have, the company said. Although there have been “a limited number” of complaints, the Mondelez is issuing the recall “as a precaution.” Read entire Trib article here.
I should point out that the two flavors, apple cinnamon and chocolate, were not carried by Walgreens or CVS (at least in the Chicago area) – we got the plain oats and blueberry ones. And trust me that I know what we got…a $recall$ would have been nice (all kidding aside, I do like these cookies very much).
Thanks for posting this! I have a box that is in the recall, but, “throw it away”? I used a good coupon on this!
