Before you eat breakfast in the morning, double check the cereal that's in your kitchen. Nearly three million boxes of both frosted and plain Mini-Wheats are being recalled by Kellogg's, because there could be pieces of metal mesh inside.
The recall affects everything from the small, single-serve boxes to the big 70 ounce boxes you find at club stores.
Regarding the metal pieces, one Youtube user recorded himself running a magnet through a plate of the recalled cereal. A good amount is picked up by the magnet. To see the video,

There have been no reports of anyone hurt due to the possible contamination.
