has announced a 25-stale recall of about 29,000 boxes of Frosted Mini- Wheals Biscuits cereal that may contain too much vitamin A and cause a burning sensation in the mouth. North Carolina is among the states included in the recall, the company said. The giant cereal maker also said Thursday it had withdrawn an unspecified number of boxes of Rice Krispies cereal at distribution points because they may contain ten times more iron than normal The levels of vitamin A found in 16-ounce and 20-ounce boxes of Frosted Mini-Wheats coded BC117 and BC118 with the expiration date of Aug. 2, 1989, may cause short-term discomfort such as a burning, tingling sensation in the mouth, but will not cause any major health risks, company spokesman Joe Stewart said.
