Kellogg’s Honey Smacks Recall

The new recall comes on the heels of the CDC’s warning not to eat any Kellogg’s Honey Smacks, after the cereal was linked to a 33-state salmonella outbreak that sickened at least 100 people.

"Even if some of the cereal has been eaten and no one got sick, throw the rest of it away or return it for a refund," the CDC said.

Bacterial Pathogens in Baked Foods

Each year, approximately 600 million people globally — nearly 10% of the world's population — get sick from eating food that has been tainted by bacteria, viruses, parasites, toxins or chemicals, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

Likewise, the CDC has stated that foodborne diseases are a major public health burden in the U.S., with an estimated 1 in 6 Americans (or 48 million people) falling ill annually. Of these, 128,000 require hospitalization, and 3,000 die.

According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), bakery products were linked to 142 disease outbreaks and 2,822 illnesses between 2004 and 2013.

The presence of salmonella in bakery products has been a concern for many years. Low levels of salmonella bacteria in flour and flour-based mixes have been the cause of multiple foodborne outbreaks. Ingredients such as raw flour, sugar, dairy products, chocolate and cocoa powder, spices, nuts, peanut butter, dried coconut, dried yeast, and egg products used in the manufacturing of bakery products can carry pathogens and result in pre-baking microbial contamination.
