Kellogg’s products in Lebanon are safe , says distributor

Antoine Massoud Company, distributor of all Kellogg’s in Lebanon, said in a statement issued on Thursday that Kellogg’s products marketed by their company in Lebanon are imported from Europe exclusively.

Masoud Company stressed that Lebanon is not concerned about the recalls in the US.

Kellogg’s said it has recalled about 28 million cereal boxes, including Corn Pops, Honey Smacks, Froot Loops and Apple Jacks, due to an “uncharacteristic off-flavor and smell coming from the liner in the package.”

While a company press release said the potential for serious health problems is “low,” it said some consumers sensitive to the flavor and smell could experience possible temporary symptoms, including nausea and diarrhea.

Four types of cereal were already pulled from the market in the US, according to a statement by kellogg’s. They are:
