P.M. BRIEFING : Gerber Recalls Tough Oat Cereal
<i> From Times wire services</i>
FREMONT, Mich. —
Gerber Products Co. today recalled some shipments of Toasted Oat Rings because a new manufacturing process made the cereal too hard for some children to swallow.
“The Food and Drug Administration has been notified . . . and removal of the product from retail store and wholesale grocer warehouses is under way,” said Ron Lovasz, vice president of quality control for Gerber.
Some parents reported that their children had trouble swallowing the rings, so the company voluntarily recalled 7-ounce packages of the cereal with “Better If Used By” codes of 30MAY90 through 15AUG90, Gerber said in a news release.
