Popular breakfast cereal discontinued as fans ask 'is it ever coming back?'
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.'

Experts say you're meant to do this before you eat bananas
People hardly think to do this before taking a bite out of one of the nation's favourite fruits For years, people have been nonchalantly eating bananas straight from their fruit bowls without a second thought. But there's a crucial step many are skipping that they wouldn't dream of overlooking with other foods. Health experts have long said it is important to wash your bananas before eating the creamy fruit. It may strike you as weird to wash something when you're probably going to throw the freshly washed skin in the bin anyway, but this could change your mind next time you fancy a banana. The Huffington Post has previously highlighted that bananas, despite their tougher exterior, should be treated like any other fruit and given a good rinse. Tamika Sims, senior director of food technology communications at the International Food Information Council, told the publication: "You should be washing produce that has a peel with clean running water, even if you plan to discard it." She added that this hygienic habit was "best practice in safe food handling to minimise the transfer of dirt or microbes that may be on the skin to the fruit". Sims added: "Even if it feels counterintuitive, you should wash first." Despite the fact that you might peel a banana and chuck the skin, washing it is essential to get rid of any lurking dirt, bacteria, and potential pesticides from the surface, which prevents them from being transferred to your hands and subsequently into your mouth. Consuming any unwashed fruit can result in foodborne illnesses due to harmful bacteria such as Salmonella, E. coli, and listeria, not to mention the potential ingestion of pesticides and other contaminants. Unwashed produce might also harbour dirt, debris, and even insects which are not fit for consumption - and bananas are no different. Certain groups are more susceptible to food poisoning from unwashed produce, including: children under the age of 5 adults aged 65 and over pregnant women people with weakened immune systems Healthline reports that typical banana harvests often come with a coating of pesticides. The outlet claimed: "Pesticide exposure has been linked to several adverse effects on health and may increase the risk of conditions like autism, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, and dementia." How should you properly wash a banana? The best method is to clean a banana isn't rocket science - just hold it under cool running tap water for about 30 seconds, using your hands to brush off any visible soil. It's important to avoid soaps or detergents as they can leave harmful residues behind. Food safety specialist Trevor Craig told HuffPost readers: "If you really want to go for it, you can use a diluted vinegar solution of one part vinegar to four parts clean water to spray your food. This will help kill some bacteria and won't leave a bad taste or possibly dangerous chemicals on your food." The expert also recommended that for those eager to ensure their fruits are spotless, using a brush on thicker-skinned fruits and vegetables, like avocados, could be beneficial. He said: "Skins are often textured and have lots of space for things to fit in that you don't want to be in your finished product." Once you've finished washing, pat the banana dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Dog left unable to eat after being poisoned by polluted river - 'I thought I'd lose her'
"I just want rivers to go back to how they used to be," said Jane Angel, whose dog Tess was poisoned with from her local river A woman whose pet dog caught from a polluted river says she wishes Britain's waterways could go back to how they used to be. Environment Secretary Steve Reed is set to pledge a 50% reduction in sewage pollution in the next five years, ahead of what's expected to be a scathing report into the UK's water industry on Monday. A recent study by the Consumer Council for Water found complaints are on the rise, with around half (53%) of households feeling that what they are being charged is unfair. Jane Angel, 59, from Monmouthshire, told this newspaper her pet dog, Tess - a six-year-old Sprollie - was poisoned with after playing in her local river last month. 'Tess went down to the river Monnow as she usually does - she loves the water, had a drink and a swim,' she said. 'However, later that evening she was being violently sick everywhere and had diarrhoea. The vet confirmed it was E. coli poisoning from the river. 'Tess had to be on antibiotics for three weeks. She wouldn't eat or drink anything, I was worried sick that I was going to lose her.' Jane said she hadn't taken Tess back to the river since, and instead lets her play in a paddling pool in her garden. 'Tess supports me with my mental health and I wouldn't know what to do without her - she's my life,' she added. Ms Angel said she'd heard of four or five other dogs who had also become ill after playing in the river - yet no warning had been issued about the state of the water. She worries that children and holidaymakers visiting with caravans are at risk. 'I just want rivers to go back to how they used to be. I've lived in Monmouthshire all my life and it's never been like this. We used to be able to swim and paddle - but we can't anymore. I'm now worried about kids and other dogs that still go in the rivers." Catherine Fookes, the MP for Monmouthshire said: "The fact that Jane's dog became so incredibly ill is shocking. It's a damning reflection of the Conservatives' failure to protect and clean up our rivers. Fifteen years of underinvestment and inaction have led to this. 'I'm so relieved that Tess has fully recovered. I will continue to support Jane and keep pushing to deliver the changes we need in the water industry - so that people in Monmouthshire, and our beloved dogs, can once again swim in our rivers." In another scandal, residents of Hastings were offered no compensation after a major pipe burst over the May 2024 bank holiday weekend, leaving almost 30,000 without water for up to five days. It was only after local Labour MP Helena Dollimore quizzed Laurence Godsen, CEO of Southern Water, about the outage that the firm reversed the decision and paid residents £50 for every 12 hours they were without water. Nikki, from St Leonards on sea, East Sussex, and her family were forced to move out of their home for over 6 months after sewage water flooded their home due to a failure in Southern Water's mains. The incident caused huge disruption to her and her family, and the home had to be gutted and renovated before they could move back in. Tom Hayes, the Labour MP for Bournemouth East said: 'Water is our most important resource, yet there is unlikely to be any clean water left unless the water companies stop paying themselves huge bonuses and concentrate instead on actually investing to sort out sewage in the sea.'
