General Mills announced a voluntary recall Friday of  a limited quantity of refrigerated PIllsbury Cinnamon Rolls with Icing.

The company says that the recall was taken as a "precaution because the dough may contain fragments from a broken piece of plastic on the production line.  These products are sold in grocery stores nationally.  No other Pillsbury dough products are being recalled."

General Mills also notes that PIllsbury Flaky Cinnamon Rolls and Pillsbury Grands! Cinnamon Rolls are not included in this recall.

Only specific 8-count single and double packages with certain date codes of Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls with Icing are being recalled:

Product  Better if Used date on package
Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls with Icing 30OCT2013 and 31OCT2013
Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls with Icing 2-pack 18OCT2013, 26OCT2013 and 31OCT2013

 
 

General Mills is offering a free replacement to anyone returning a package of this kind of cinnamon roll. Consumers with questions may contact General Mills directly toll-free at 1-800-775-4777. 

In July, Ken Powell told investors that General Mills continues to grow international sales.  “Just five years ago only a quarter of our total sales, including our share of joint ventures, came from markets outside the U.S.  Today, it’s more than one-third.  Our global business portfolio gives us confidence that we can keep growing at an attractive rate.”

The company said it expects net sales to grow at a low single-digit rate in 2014 to exceed $18 billion, with mid single-digit growth in segment operating profit and fiscal 2014 adjusted diluted earnings per share in a range of $2.87 to $2.90 per share. 

General Mills plans to roll out more than 200 new products in the first half of this fiscal year. Among the new products, Hershey’s Cookies & Creme cereal will launch this summer, along with two varieties of Nature Valley granola cereal. The company also plans to expand the distribution of BFast, a breakfast shake.

What is the Monitor difference? Tackling the tough headlines – with humanity. Listening to sources – with respect. Seeing the story that others are missing by reporting what so often gets overlooked: the values that connect us. That’s Monitor reporting – news that changes how you see the world.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
