A Flaw In A Popular Cereal Company’s Packaging Is Allowing Insects To Access The Bag In Order To Eat Your Cereal
It has been said many times before that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. However, a recent news story from Singapore may have you rethinking your morning bowl of Special K, unless you enjoy the taste of maggots, flies and certain web-spinning spiders, of course. It is hard to believe that the good people at Kellogg’s would stock store shelves with insect-infested cereal products, but several boxes of Special K have been reported by consumers to contain a variety of gross insects. Of course, officials with the cereal company were not aware of the fact that many of their cereal products had become compromised by insects, but that is not helping unlucky consumers forget about the maggots that they had inadvertently eaten with their morning cereal. The public, as well as representatives with Kellogg’s, first learned of the insect-infested cereal products after several affected consumers posted photos to Facebook that showed the bugs in their cereal.
Once Facebook user posted videos of the maggots that he had found within two boxes of Special K. The user claimed that he had purchased two boxes of Special K for his brother, as it is, or was his brother’s favorite cereal product. Both boxes contained maggots. Another Facebook user also purchased to boxes of Special K and, you guessed it, both boxes contained insects, most of which were maggots. What will surprise you is that each of her boxes were purchased from different stores, indicating that the amount of insect-contaminated Special K products may be more numerous than the Kellogg’s company is letting on.
In response to the many posts, and the many more phone calls from customers that don’t like their Special K with maggots, representatives for Kellogg’s have claimed that all boxes of contaminated cereal have been removed from store shelves. Apparently, the insects gained entrance into the newly introduced cereal bags after manufacturers mishandled the product. You may want to avoid Special K for a week or two, just to be sure.
If you found maggots in your store-bought cereal, would you bother on complaining? Or would you simply file a lawsuit as quickly as possible?
