Kellogg Co. announced on Thursday that it is recalling approximately 1.3 million cases of its Honey Smacks cereal from more than 30 US states. This is due to the potential for salmonella contamination, in the latest case of US food products possibly tainted by the bacteria.
The US Food & Drug Administration said it worked with Kellogg to issue the recall after preliminary evidence linked the product to over 60 illnesses. “The FDA is working with the company to quickly remove this cereal from the marketplace,” the agency said in a statement.
