General Mills Recalls Over 1 Million Boxes Of ‘Gluten Free’ Cheerios

General Mills has announced they're recalling 1.8 million boxes of Cheerios and Honey Nut Cheerios. The problem? General Mills says the cereal is labeled "gluten free," but actually contains wheat. This could cause reactions for people with wheat allergies or celiac disease.

From Cheerios.com -

We are embarrassed & sorry to share an incident that occurred at our production facility in Lodi, California, that allowed wheat flour to enter our gluten-free oat-based system. As a result, original and Honey Nut Cheerios produced on several dates may contain wheat and were wrongly labeled gluten free.

We are voluntarily recalling the products made on those dates at our Lodi facility and we ask you to check the “better if used by” code dates on your packages.

If you have an issue, you are being asked to call the consumer line at: 1-800-775-8370. You can also contact them or get answers to any questions you may have over at http://www.blog.generalmills.com/
