Just before the agency announced the outbreak, the Kellogg Co. announced a recall of 15.3-ounce and 23-ounce packages of the cereal with a “best if used by” date from June 14, 2018, through June 14, 2019, according to a statement.
Twenty-four of the sick patients have been hospitalized. No deaths have been reported, according to the CDC. New York has reported the highest number of cases — seven — while California, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania have each reported five cases. The other states involved in the outbreak have reported between one and four related illnesses.
Health officials have identified Kellogg’s Honey Smacks cereal as the likely source of the outbreak, based on epidemiological evidence. As part of the outbreak investigation, 39 of the patients who became ill have been interviewed, and 30 reported eating cold cereal in the week before their symptoms began. Fourteen of them specifically said they ate Honey Smacks.

I don’t remember Quangaroos, of course by that time, I had probably moved on to the General Mills Frankenberry vs. Count Chocula conflict.
Note: “Contains no actual berries or grapes”.
“third-party manufacturer that produces the cereal”
i think i see the problem ... wonder what country that third-party manufacturer is in ... maybe a country not bound by U.S. and FDA manufacturing standards?
“A pox on this company. Salmonella-causing cereal is a perfect metaphor of their slow demise.”
