The Food and Drugs Board (FDB) on Monday warned against Kellogs crunchy nut Corn flakes (Irresistible Delicious) which has its expiry date defaced making it dangerous for consumption.
According to the FBD the products bore no production times whiles the best before dates were stamped in blue ink. It said the front face of the pack has a yellow background with a picture of corn flakes in milk scooped with a spoon, while the opposite face of the pack has the picture of seven ladies.
The new best before date stamped on the product is 12 November 2002 had an oily appearance and lost its crispiness and smell of mouldy bread.
The second product Kellogg’s Corn Flakes (wake up to sunshine breakfast) weighing 500 grams had a picture of a green cock and five kids with their head clustered in circular fashion and smiling.
The picture is captured at the other face of the pack and the brand, which has developed a foul smell and lost its crispiness, has a new best before date stamped on the product as 31 December 2002.
The FBD said the products were found around Okaishie and Makola market zones at relatively cheaper prices and the general public “is therefore, being asked to take note of this serious food safety hazard and look out for products information on every packed and canned food to ensure that products with tampered dates are not patronised”. It said other batches of the same product within their life period could be patronised.
