The US Food and Drug Administration is investigating Lucky Charms cereal after dozens of customers complained of illnesses after eating it.

The FDA said Saturday it has received more than 100 complaints related to Lucky Charms so far this year.

‘The FDA takes seriously any reports of possible adulteration of a food that may also cause illnesses or injury,’ the agency said in a statement.Duke and Duchess share VERY public display of affection and Meghan praises ‘my incredible husband’ as they open the Invictus Games – with Harry revealing Archie wants to be a chopper pilot (or a cat) when he grows up, and other top stories from April 17, 2022.P

‘The agency is currently reviewing and investigating these reports,’ an FDA spokeswoman said. 

While it is rare for people to get sick from eating breakfast cereal because cereal is baked, cereal can be contaminated after it is baked, typically when the puffs are glazed with a sugary coating or when it is packaged, food safety experts have said. 

Several hundred people have also posted on a food safety website, iwaspoisoned.com, complaining of nausea, diarrhea and vomiting after eating Lucky Charms. 

‘This is actually my second time experiencing symptoms after eating Lucky Charms and I am certain it is the cause!’ one person from Ohio reported to the website.

‘Having extreme abdominal pains time I am holding on to the remaining cereal left in the Box and hoping to get it tested soon!’ they wrote, indicating their symptoms were nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, ‘something else’ and stomach pain.

‘I had Lucky Charms for breakfast. After that, about an hour or so later, I got diarrhea and bad gas,’ another person from Pittsburgh wrote. 

‘My son ate the Lucky Charms and later that day he was ill. It come out of nowhere lasted for a couple of days,’ wrote another reviewer in North Carolina.

‘Ate Lucky Charms for breakfast on 4/12 and 4/13. Started feeling very nauseous and bloated to the point where it felt I was in a big bear hug. On 4/15 continued to feel nauseous and then diarrhea began,’ a user from Rochester, New York, reported.

‘First looked like chicken noodle soup. Then it was like I had taken a preparation for colonoscopy! Looked like muddy water was gushing out.’

Patrick Quade, founder of the consumer website, said that as of Saturday, his site has received over 3,000 reports from people across the country who have said they got sick soon after eating Lucky Charms.
