If you have Honey Smacks cereal in your kitchen, you’re going to want to throw it out immediately. All boxes of the cereal are being recalled after a salmonella outbreak in 31 states. “Do not eat this cereal,” the CDC warned in a tweet.
Last month, the CDC sent out a warning that Honey Smacks had caused an outbreak of 73 salmonella infections. Sounds serious enough to stop sales of the breakfast food for good, right? Well, not quite. Despite a voluntary recall, some stores still had the cereal on their shelves and more and more people were purchasing boxes and getting sick. Twenty-seven cases of salmonella infections occurred after the initial recall, in everywhere from Montana to Utah.
OUTBREAK Update: 100 Salmonella infections in 33 states linked to Kellogg’s Honey Smacks cereal. Do not eat this cereal.
