The food safety website iwaspoisoned.com started receiving reports from consumers that fell ill after eating Lucky Charms Cereal. Reports have been from multiple states, including Michigan and the Port Huron Area.
Consumers report gastrointestinal symptoms after eating the cereal including nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting along with lethargy, bloating, and gas. According to reports, both children and adults have been affected.
After over 2,400 reports of sickness that may be related to Lucky Charms, the FDA has initiated an investigation and is asking anyone who became sick after eating the cereal to keep the leftover product for testing.
Those who have been sick can report their experience at the iwaspoisoned.com website <HERE>.
Once symptoms and other details are reported, consumers will receive instructions on how to submit the product for testing.
When dealing with any type of food poisoning, those affected should rest their stomachs for the first few hours after the onset of symptoms, and then limit their diet to small amounts of clear liquids. Gradually increase liquids as tolerated, and, when ready, reintroduce food starting with a bland diet.
