Kellogg and Little Debbie are joining forces to transform a childhood treat into a cereal.
Battle Creek-based Kellogg said last week that it debuted Little Debbie Cosmic Brownies Cereal, featuring crispy brownie squares with cosmic rainbow pieces. Each bite delivers the fudgy chocolate flavor of the iconic Little Debbie Cosmic Brownies, and every nostalgia-evoking spoonful is designed to bring fans’ favorite galactic snack to breakfast for an out-of-this world experience, Kellogg said.
“We are very excited to see one of our most-loved Little Debbie products, Little Debbie Cosmic Brownies, transformed into cereal by Kellogg,” said Jeff Badger, vice president of marketing at McKee Foods, which produces Little Debbie brand snacks. “The cereal delivers the flavor of Little Debbie Cosmic Brownies in a fun new way. It is delicious in a bowl with milk or straight out of the box as a snack.”
This week's junk food head-scratcher comes courtesy of cereal maker Kellogg's and snack-cake queen Little Debbie, who decided that it would be a good idea.
There s been an oops with the tasty snack treat, SnoBalls. Hostess has announced a recall to their cakes after an accidental packaging error.
It appears the company became aware of a packaging issue with their SnoBall Coconut products being packaged in Chocolate CupCakes packaging.
Some may not realize they re biting into the coconut cake, and there s nothing listed on the packaging about the cake containing the ingredient. The company has recalled the cakes as an act of caution involving allergies.
Here s the batch that is impacted:
According to the FDA, the products were sold to convenience stores, dollar stores, and distributors throughout the United States. No injuries or illnesses have been reported to date.
