The cereal was recalled in June, but the FDA has still found it for sale in some stores.
The CDC is advising people not to eat any Kellogg’s Honey Smacks cereal, regardless of package size or best-buy date. They said to check your home for the cereal and throw it away or return it to the place of purchase for a refund.
The CDC is also advising consumers that if they see Honey Smacks for sale, not to buy it, and report any product being offered for sale to the DA Consumer Complaint Coordinator in your state.
