The company recalled the products earlier this month, and federal officials are encouraging consumers to throw away certain packages of Malt-O-Meal’s Puffed Rice and Puffed Wheat cereals.
Malt-O-Meal also produces cereal under supermarket and generic names, including Acme, America’s Choice, Food Club, Giant, Hannaford, Jewel, Laura Lynn, Pathmark, Shaw’s, ShopRite, Tops and Weis Quality.
Consumers can identify potentially affected food by codes used on the packaging. The cereals have “Best If Used By” dates from April 8, 2008 (coded as “APR0808″) through March 18, 2009 (coded as “MAR1809″).
