Breakfast Cereal Food Poisoning

Breakfast Cereal Food Poisoning

It is possible to get sick from cereal. In 2018 Quaker Oats recalled Capn' Crunch due to a Salmonella outbreak that infected 135 people. In 2010 Kellogg's recalled 28 million boxes of cereal due to 'off-flavor and smell'  and the possibility of symptoms, including nausea and diarrhea.

The other day I ate like half a bag and immediately felt horrible like I was getting sick in every bone in my body- fever, chills but I didn’t think it was something I ate I thought I was getting sick I had to go home rest … See More
the rest of the day..But I was fine the next day but now I know it’s the cereal bc I just ate some was fine and then I ate it and feel like I have a fever, aches, like I’m getting really sick! This happened the other day but I didn’t think anything of it now I’m realizing this feeling only starts after eating the cereal! So I looked it up it said there’s a recall on the cereal bc it’s contaminated with metals, but I bought the Cinnamon toast cereal and that one is not listed on the recall. I don’t know what’s happening!  | Symptoms: Fever, Headache

Lucky charms cereal, Yuba City, CA, USA

6 days ago reported by user-rjnwk368

I ate two large bowls of Lucky Charms cereal before bed last night (about 4 cups of cereal in total). And got up about 5 hours later with major cramping, diarrhea and heartburn. Output was green. Cramping and mushy stooling still occuring 12 hours later. This is … See More
not the first time the Lucky Charms illness has struck. I’ve been suspicious of the cereal’s association to this affect in the past but didn’t feel certain until of the connection until today. I usually eat two bowls of cereal but my primary gotos are FrostedFlakes and FrostedMiniWheats. I eat the lucky charms from my kids’ supply when I don’t have my gotos available. My kids are little and only eat smaller portions. I’m done buying this stuff for them—something is up with the cereal’s ingredients. Why are they putting in something that causes this sort of GI response? #LuckyCharms  | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Stomach Pain, Cramps, Heartburn

what I’m used to seeing. Don’t know if these means new warehouse or different distribution. But this milk gave me horrible stomach pain. Not gas, not bubbling, just severe pain at top of stomach.  | Symptoms: Stomach Pain

I'd like to preface by saying I have been eating little cereal over recent years, but when I have eaten it, I've tended toward organic varieties. My budget is being squeezed, and I can't always afford organic now, so I recently opted for some flavored Cheerios to … See More
use as a snack. I ate several servings of the limited edition "Strawberry Banana Cheerios" approx. two weeks ago, and within hours of ingestion each time, had mucosal diarrhea (that definitely smelled like Cheerios). I thought maybe it was the variety, as I hadn't had it before. Yesterday, I decided to try the "Chocolate Cheerios" I had purchased at the same time, and sadly had the exact same reaction. Something is definitely wrong with Cheerios.

Frosted Miniwheats, Vancouver, BC, Canada

1 week ago reported by user-dzgjh257

Miniwheats destroys my guts. If I eat one bowl it's a guaranteed crappy (literally) day with excessive gas, bloating, nausea, and of course, explosive diarrhea. What has changed with this cereal? I used to eat a lot of it with no issues, but now it puts me through a living hell.  | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Stomach Pain, Bloating, Gas
