FILE - In this Jan. 29, 2014 file photo, a representative from the Skittles candy company poses with packages of a special "Seattle Mix" of the treat, that were being handed out in a limited number to Seattle Seahawks fans in Seattle. Mars says it was a miscommunication with a subcontractor that led to a defective batch of its Skittles being spilled on a highway while they were reportedly on their way to becoming cattle feed.The spill captured attention after a Wisconsin sheriff posted photos of the red candies on a road on Facebook, and wrote that they had fallen off the truck of a farmer who was going to feed them to cattle. Selling food byproducts for animal feed is common, but Mars had said the factory that made the Skittles in question was not approved to do so. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson)
