The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a strong warning for people to avoid Honey Smacks because the cereal is linked to a salmonella outbreak. More than a million boxes of the product were recalled by the manufacturer Kellogg's in June after 100 people were infected in 33 states. The CDC announced that the cereal is the likely source of the salmonella outbreak. Salmonella infections can cause illness, or death in rare cases.
