Kellogg Canada is recalling some of its Mini-Wheats cereal due to fears boxes may be contaminated with fragments of metal mesh.

The recall affects packages of Mini-Wheats Original Frosted cereal and Mini-Wheats Brown Sugar Flavour Frosted cereal, which are being yanked from store shelves. Approximately 36,000 cases of the affected product were in stores countrywide when the recall was initiated on Tuesday.

Kellogg blamed the contamination on a defective machine on the production line.

The affected packages were sold in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

You can call Kellogg at 1-888-876-3750 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. EST Monday to Friday.
