If you want to start your day off on the right foot and you plan on grabbing the nearest box of cereal from your pantry, it's smart to double-check which one you pick. The FDA recently issued a recall of over 5,000 units of Post Cereals' Honey Bunches of Oat with Almonds that were sold in 3-pound bags. The affected cereal includes foreign metal material and was distributed in both Colorado and California.
The recall was recently updated to a Class II recall, meaning that the consumption of the cereal could cause "temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences."
Fortunately, no reports of illness or injury have been reported so far.
The affected Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds cereal boxes have best if used by dates of April 9, 2026 and April 10, 2026 and UPC 8 84912-01428 3. While the FDA didn't state what to do if you have a contaminated product in your home, it's typically recommended to either discard your cereal or return it to the place of purchase.
