Kellogg’s recalls cereal sold in Tesco due to 'choking hazard' and 'dental harm'

Kellogg’s has recalled boxes of its new chocolate flavour Corn Flakes because they may contain small hard lumps of food.

The food giant warned that the hard lumps could cause “dental harm” or potentially be a choking hazard. Kellogg’s launched the new chocolate flavour in Tesco stores in January this year. It has since been removed from the Tesco website, where it was retailing at £2.75, down from its original price of £3.

The best before dates that are included in the recall are from December 6, 2024 to April 28, 2025. No other Kellogg’s products are affected. Shoppers who have purchased a box with a best before date that is included in the recall are advised to contact Kellogg’s for a refund.

You can contact Kellogg’s on 0800 626066 or by completing a form on its website. In a recall notice published online, Kellogg’s said: “We have become aware of a very low level of small hard lumps forming in our new Kellogg’s Corn Flakes Chocolate Flavour. These hard lumps of food could cause dental harm or be a choking hazard and as a precaution we are recalling this product.”

This isn't the only recent recall that shoppers should be aware of. Just last week, Tesco pulled its own-brand sandwich pickle over fears some jars may contain pieces of glass. The supermarket recalled its 295g jars of Tesco Sandwich Pickle with the batch code 3254 and best before date of September 11, 2025.

It retails at £1.15. Tesco shoppers who have purchased one of these sandwich pickles with this best before date should return it to their nearest store for a full refund. For all product recalls, you can check the Food Standards Agency and Chartered Trading Standards Institute websites. You should also notice recall notices in stores if they've pulled a product from shelves.
