Run magnets through sand, by your windowsill(or any place that
collects a lot of dust, really)and try your best to remove the
filings from the magnet. It ain't easy!
Put the magnet inside a heavy plastic bag first. Turn the bag
inside
out to remove iron filings.
You can collect iron filings by swishing a (plastic bagged) magnet
around in a bowl of Wheaties cereal. Not kidding.
Do you suppose they are an added mineral supplement, or from wear
in
the packaging machinery?

There are chemical techniques for producing finely divided metal
particles. Ask a chem prof.
Ask me, I was a chemist before the Army taught me computer
electronics.
