Heartland Brands Voluntarily Recalls Two Varieties of Granola Cereals


Silver Spring, Maryland–(ENEWSPF)–February 22, 2013. Heartland® Brands is voluntarily recalling two varieties of its granola cereals in the United States, Bahamas, Bermuda, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Israel and Trinidad, as a precaution due to the possible presence of fragments of flexible metal mesh in an ingredient. The ingredient is a grain blend, and the problem was discovered and reported by the ingredient supplier, Dakota Specialty Milling.

The two Heartland® cereal varieties are:

  • Heartland® Harvest Spice Granola Cereal — 14 oz.; UPC 024300 090394; Best If Used By dates from 20130326 (March 26, 2013) through 20130910 (Sept. 10, 2013).

No other Heartland® brand products are involved in this recall.

Heartland® Brands has not received any reports of consumer complaints or injuries and is issuing this voluntary recall as a precaution.
