Recall Alert: Hostess SnoBalls Recalled for Undeclared Allergen

by Erica Loop

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently announced a voluntary recall for Hostess SnoBalls due to an undeclared coconut allergen risk.

According to the FDA, the affected Hostess SnoBalls were inadvertently placed in the packaging for Hostess Chocolate CupCakes. This packaging does not list coconut as an ingredient.

Anyone who’s a fan of the sweet treats knows these delish desserts are frosted cream-filled cake with a thick layer of shredded coconut. This makes the undeclared allergen a potential danger to anyone who can’t eat coconut or coconut-containing products.

The affected products include single-serve Hostess SnoBalls with the item UPC 888109010096, batch number I031221000, and best by date of May 27, 2021. These SnoBalls were sold to dollar stores, convenience stores, and other distributors nationwide.

There are currently no injuries or illnesses reported due to the recalled product. If you have the recalled Hostess SnoBalls do not eat the product. Contact the place or purchase for more information on returning the recalled SnoBalls and how to get a full refund. Visit hostesscakes.com or call the company at 1-800-483-7253 for answers to your recall-related questions.

New Kellogg’s Cereal Mashup Is Breakfast Bliss

by Erica Loop

If your kiddos just can’t decide which cereal is their fave, they no longer need to pick one over the other. Kellogg’s is bringing breakfast fans two cereals—in one!

The beloved brand has an all new mashup that combines Frosted Flakes and Apple Jacks. Kellogg’s Mashups Cereal with Frosted Flakes and Apple Jacks will hit store shelves this summer.

The green and red-hued fruit-flavored cinnamon-y Apple Jacks are sprinkled throughout the sweet, sweet Frosted Flakes. The Frosted Flakes-Apple Jacks Mashup isn’t the first mixed up batch of breakfast cereal Kellogg’s has created. Last summer the brand paired Frosted Flakes with Fruit Loops. It looks like the success of the first cereal combo creation has spawned yet another tasty blended treat with a summer-time release.

Look for Kellogg’s Mashups Frosted Flakes and Apple Jacks in cereal aisles nationwide starting June 2021! Score this limited-timed cereal blend for the suggested retail price of $3.99 (for a 9.8 ounce box) or $5.69 (for a 15.6 ounce box).
