What to do now
The shape, size or texture of Nestlé Frosted Shreddies makes it a choking hazard.
- Do not give it to children, and do not eat it yourself.
- Store it out of reach until it goes back.
- Take it back to the shop where you bought it for a full refund, or throw it away if you prefer. You do not usually need a receipt.
- If you froze some or put it into another container, check those portions too.
Why it matters. Foods such as jelly mini-cups and some sweets can be sucked straight into the throat and do not dissolve quickly, which makes them hard to clear.
