FDA probes Lucky Charms’ possible link to illnesses – By Annie Gasparro (Wall Street Journal) / April 17, 2022
Complaints to food regulators rise; the agency hasn’t issued a recall for the popular children’s cereal
Food and Drug Administration officials said they are examining reports from more than 100 consumers who told the agency that they got sick after eating Lucky Charms cereal recently.
The reports come after thousands of people have complained on a consumer website, saying they have experienced nausea, vomiting and diarrhea after eating Lucky Charms.
“The agency is currently reviewing and investigating these reports,” an FDA spokeswoman said.
General Mills Inc., which makes the cereal, said it is working with the FDA on the matter. The company said it conducted a thorough internal investigation that found no evidence of illnesses linked to the consumption of Lucky Charms. “We encourage consumers to please share any concerns directly with General Mills,” a spokeswoman said.
