Popular breakfast cereal discontinued as fans ask 'is it ever coming back?'
The popular breakfast flakes haven't been seen in stores since they were recalled last year over a choking hazard - and now, Kellogg's has confirmed they have been discontinued
Kellogg's has discontinued a popular cereal following an urgent recall last year. Chocolate flavour Corn Flakes were pulled from shelves in May 2024 after people complained of hard lumps in the cereal which could cause choking.
The popular breakfast flakes haven't been seen in stores since - and now, Kellogg's has confirmed they have been discontinued. Writing on X, one person asked: 'Did @KelloggsUKI discontinue chocolate cornflakes again?'
Another person posted: 'Impatiently waiting for @KelloggsUKI to bring back chocolate cornflakes.' A third person said: 'I know you recalled chocolate cornflakes, but are they ever going to be back again, they were only brought back for a few weeks.'
A spokesperson from Kellogg's told The Sun: "We love that Kellogg's fans are so passionate about their favourite cereals and we're proud to be a part of millions of people's breakfasts each morning in the UK.
"We can never say never, but while there are no current plans to bring back Chocolate Corn Flakes, we do have lots of other exciting new products out now, like Kellogg's Oaties and Bluey Multigrain cereal, with more coming next year for cereal lovers to try.'

The common BBQ mistake putting you at risk of TAPEWORMS – and 4 other ‘dangerous' slip ups to avoid
Read on to also find out how another common BBQ faux pas has been linked to Alzheimer's, cancer and even cardiovascular problems HOT TOPIC The common BBQ mistake putting you at risk of TAPEWORMS – and 4 other 'dangerous' slip ups to avoid Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WITH the sun shining and summer on our doorstep, it's time to fire up your BBQ (if you haven't already). But while a bit of al fresco dining is to be welcomed, the potential nasties lurking between the juicy burgers, sharing salads and cold beers, less so. 6 To avoid a nasty bout of illness keeping you close to the toilet - be aware of these common BBQ slip-ups Credit: Getty It turns out a spot of food poisoning could be the least of your worries. Chances are you've heard of salmonella, listeria and but did you know that food poisoning can be fatal? And what about the risk of tapeworms - yes, you read right! There are 2.4 million cases of foodborne illness annually in the UK, according to the Food Standards Agency. Food poisoning, a type of foodborne disease caused by eating food containing toxins, causes 100,000 cases of illness each year. But infections spike in the summer - 'a potential consequence of unsafe BBQ food', the agency warns. To avoid a nasty bout of illness keeping you close to the toilet - or worse, a whole group of friends and relatives sick - be aware of these common BBQ slip-ups. MISTAKE #1: BEST OF CLUCK 6 Undercooked food can lead to nasty stomach bugs with symptoms such as diarrhoea and cramps Credit: Getty IT'S the classic BBQ faux pas - undercooked chicken. Even if you've got a garden full of hungry bellies, it's best to let it cook longer, to make sure it's properly cooked. Eating undercooked or raw chicken can lead to potentially deadly salmonella or campylobacter infections, which manifest as nasty stomach bugs with symptoms such as diarrhoea, cramps and vomiting, according to registered nutritional therapist, Lucia Stansbie. How to tell if you have food poisoning 'These can require medical attention and antibiotic prescriptions,' she tells Sun on Sunday Health. Sharing her tips to avoid disaster, Lucia points out that meat on the bone takes longer to cook and is harder to cook evenly - raising the risk of bacteria thriving. Opt for thin-cut slices of meat rather than massive chunks, and she also suggests a quick blast in the oven before finishing off on the grill. Check there's no pink meat, and look for clear juices when cutting into it to reduce your risk. 'A 'pro' way of checking if chicken is cooked is to use a meat thermometer, aiming for 75 degrees Celsius in the thickest part of the cut meat,' she adds. MISTAKE #2: HOT TOPIC WHILE it seems obvious, it's so easily done. How often have you enjoyed an afternoon grazing the fruits of your BBQ labours, picking at sausages, dips and salads to your heart's content? 6 Leaving food out in the sun speeds up the fermentation process and bacterial overgrowth Credit: Getty We're all guilty, but in warm weather, you must avoid leaving food out in the sun, Lucia warns. 'This can speed up fermentation and bacterial overgrowth,' she says. 'This is especially true for sauces made with raw egg, which can carry salmonella.' Salmonella can cause diarrhoea, tummy pain and even fever. Lucia adds: 'Soft cheeses such as brie can carry listeria, which can spread rapidly if the cheese has been left in the sun and heat.' Most listeriosis infections come from eating chilled, ready-to-eat foods, such as pâté, pre-cut packed fruit and cold, cooked sliced meats and cured meats. The NHS says ready-to-eat foods should be consumed within four hours of taking them out of the fridge. Listeria usually only causes mild symptoms such as a high temperature, diarrhoea and nausea. However, anyone with a weakened immune system could experience far worse symptoms. They - and pregnant women - are told to avoid listeria-risk foods. THE FIVE RULES TO ALWAYS STAY SAFE THE Food Standards Agency's top five easy tips for staying safe when cooking on the barbie 1. COME CLEAN Wash your hands thoroughly before cooking and eating. Wash your utensils and serving dishes in between use, taking special care not to mix up dishes used for holding raw food with dishes for cooked food. 2. KEEP YOUR COOL Defrost your food in the fridge, NOT at room temperature, and ensure it is fully defrosted before cooking. When storing cooked food, cool it at room temperature before putting it in the fridge, but make sure you get it in the fridge within 2 hours. 3. FEEL THE HEAT Cook food at the right temperature and for the correct length of time to ensure that any harmful bacteria are killed. Turn meat regularly and move it around the barbecue to cook it evenly. 4. MARINADE MINDFULLY When applying a marinade to meat, be careful. Don't baste partially and cooked meat with a marinade that has been used on raw meat, as this can lead to cross-contamination. If you would like to apply the marinade again as a baste – boil it in a pan, and it will be safe to use. 5. CHECK IT'S DONE Always check that meat juices run clear and that no pink meat is visible when cutting through the thickest part. Remember, charred on the outside doesn't always mean cooked on the inside! MISTAKE #3: RARE THREAT A JUICY rare steak might be your go-to, but it's wise to be wary during BBQ season. Milena Mastroianni, a registered nutritional therapist, tells Sun on Sunday Health: 'There is always a low risk of raw food being contaminated with tapeworm larvae, especially beef as well as fish such as salmon and trout. 'If this gets into your body, it can cause problems such as diarrhoea and other gut-related issues, weight loss, hunger pains and even cravings for salty food.' 6 There's always a risk raw foods could be contaminated with tapeworm larvae Credit: Getty Lucia says that medium-rare steak is less problematic, as long as the outside is well seared, 'as most bacteria live on the meat surface'. But if you are cooking minced meat products, like burgers, you must cook them all the way through. 'The surface bacteria like or listeria can get mixed all the way through when mincing the meat,' says Lucia. 'People with a weakened immune system, pregnant women, young children and the elderly should pay attention and avoid medium-rare beef steak and always go for fully cooked meat.' MISTAKE #4: TAKE A LEAF 6 You must always wash your salad leaves - there's always a risk of contamination from listeria Credit: iStock - Getty IF you don't want guests heading home with a bout of food poisoning in their party bag, always make sure to wash your salad leaves. Melina says: 'Bagged salads can pose the risk of contamination from listeria, but also salmonella and due to the moist environment and the pre-cut leaves.' A study by the University of Leicester found that just a small amount of damaged leaves in a bagged salad can 'stimulate the presence of the food poisoning bug, salmonella'. 'It's always a good idea to wash salad leaves using a salad spinner, even if the bag says 'pre-washed',' says Melina. 'Discard leaves that are slimy or wilting and store the salad at the back of the fridge as it is the coldest part and will keep it fresher for longer.' MISTAKE #5: BURN BBQ, BURN BURNT food is part and parcel of a BBQ - who doesn't love a crispy sausage or charred bit of veg? But Milena warns: 'In general, cooking meat on a high temperature can increase the amount of antioxidants and harmful AGEs (advanced glycation endproducts) that are present in food.' 6 Overly charred foods increase the amount of AGEs which has been linked to Alzheimer's and cancer Credit: Getty - Contributor A review of the evidence published in the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine has linked high levels of AGEs to a number of health issues from Alzheimer's disease to cancer and even cardiovascular problems. A couple of sausages isn't going to do you any harm, but regularly eating burned or charred food might put your body through too much oxidative stress. This is when the balance between free radicals and antioxidants in your body tips, leading to potential damage to cells, proteins, and DNA. Milena recommends pairing BBQ meat with plenty of antioxidant-rich fresh foods such as vegetables and colourful, well-washed, salads. 'Marinating meat is always a good idea, as it reduces the formation of harmful AGEs when grilling, while tenderising and adding flavour and moisture to any meat,' she adds.

Woman suffers seven year infection after boyfriend farted in her face
An Australian woman was plagued with sinus infections for years until doctors found an unlikely reason behind them – her boyfriend's fart. Christine Connell suffered facial pain for seven years until doctors took a sample of her nose and found she had been suffering from E. coli in her sinuses. The reason? Her ex-boyfriend farting in front of her in a hotel room years earlier. She told The Sun: 'I realised that my ex-boyfriend got the best possible break-up revenge that anyone could ever get. 'I've had a persistent sinus infection ever since he and I stayed in a hotel one night after I had surgery and he farted terribly. I couldn't breathe. 'There's not anything that even compares to that.' She did say her ex-boyfriend didn't intend to fart in her face, but wasn't clothed and farted towards her as she was laying in bed, recovering from surgery. After sharing her ordeal on TikTok, doctors came back with test results, and Christine alerted her followers: 'I wish I were joking. 'It is E. coli. You usually don't get E. coli in your sinuses because E. coli is from poop. How does that get in your sinuses unless you have a boyfriend who farts disgustingly and you are forced to inhale it because you are immobile after ankle surgery?' Chrstine is now undergoing treatment to kick the infection for good, but added that she thinks her compromised immune system at the time of the fart likely had something to do with the infection. 'Also, when I say it was the worst fart I have ever smelled in my life, I truly mean that. So, I think there were just a lot of factors combined that made this possible.' E. coli, short for Escherichia coli, is a type of bacteria that can, in some cases, cause severe illness, often through food poisoning. One type of E. coli lives in the gut of people and animals. This strain is usually harmless, and even beneficial, helping to digest your food. However, other, harmful, strains, can lead to infections in the digestive system which can, occasionally, be fatal. All of the cases in the current outbreak involve the Shiga toxin-producing E. coli O145 (Stec). While different strains of E. coli can cause infections, the most common symptoms of each are: Diarrhoea, ranging from mild and watery to severe and bloody Stomach cramps, or abdominal pain and tenderness Nausea and vomiting Patients may also have a fever. More Trending Most people will suffer symptoms three to four days after being infected, but E coli food poisoning can strike any time between one and 14 days after exposure. The E. coli, once in the body, releases a toxin which causes the symptoms. In some cases, it can lead to a condition known as haemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), which causes blood clots that can damage the kidneys – and is potentially fatal. Signs of HUS included peeing less, tiredness, swelling and bruising. Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@ For more stories like this, check our news page.
