• Even if some of the cereal has been eaten and no one got sick, throw the rest of it away or return it for a refund.
• If you store cereal that looks like Kellogg’s Honey Smacks in a container without the packaging and don’t remember the brand or type, throw it away. Kellogg’s Honey Smacks is a sweetened puffed wheat cereal.
• Thoroughly wash the container with warm, soapy water before using it again, to remove harmful germs that could contaminate other food.
