The US Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers about new concerns over Kellogg’s Honey Smacks Cereal. In June all Kellogg’s Honey Smacks cereal was voluntarily recalled. The FDA has since issued an updated warning as more people have become ill after consuming the cereal. The most recent reports come from people who had consumed Kellogg’s Honey Smacks cereal that they had in their homes. The FDA is currently investigating a multi state Salmonella outbreak that includes Wisconsin. Officials say 34 people have been hospitalized and 130 have been made sick. According to a news release “The recall accounts for all Honey Smacks cereal on the market within the cereal’s estimated one year shelf life… However Honey Smacks products with earlier dates could also potentially be contaminated.” The FDA released a statement in July stating that they are “aware that recalled Kellogg’s Honey Smacks cereal are still being offered for sale.” All Honey Smacks Cereal was recalled in June and retailers cannot legally offer the cereal for sale. The public is being advised to report any sales of the cereal by contacting the FDA Consumer Complaint Coordinator for their state.
