“Do not eat Kellogg’s Honey Smacks cereal of any size package or with any ‘best if used by’ date,” it wrote.
“Do not eat this cereal,” the CDC said bluntly in a tweet.
The agency has said that it has found Salmonella stains in unopened and leftover samples of Honey Smacks. Though the recall covers cereal with a best-by date of June 14, 2018, through June 14, 2019, the agency is recommending people avoid the cereal altogether.
According to Reuters, the company recalled an estimated 1.3 million cases of the cereal but the FDA said Thursday that it believes the cereal is still being sold by some stores.
“Retailers cannot legally offer the cereal for sale and consumers should not purchase Kellogg’s Honey Smacks cereal,” it wrote.
The cases have been reported in 33 states, including New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, California, Maryland and Virginia.
