Recent Salomonally Cases linked with Cereal?

I've heard that the recent salomonella cases are linked to cereals...are Kellogs Frosted Flakes and Honey Bunches of Oats safe to eat? Is it specific brands that are unsafe, or is it a specific type of cereal or date of manufacturing?

Recent Salomonally Cases linked with Cereal?
Here is the FDA's release, from April 14:


"The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today announced that at least 21 people in 13 states have been diagnosed with salmonellosis that was caused by the same strain of Salmonella that was found in the recently recalled unsweetened Puffed Rice and unsweetened Puffed Wheat Cereals produced by Malt-O-Meal.





The recalled products were distributed nationally under the Malt-O-Meal brand name as well as under private label brands including Acme, America's Choice, Food Club, Giant, Hannaford, Jewel, Laura Lynn, Pathmark, Shaw's, ShopRite, Tops and Weis Quality. The cereals have "Best If Used By" dates from April 8, 2008 (coded as "APR0808") through March 18, 2009 (coded as "MAR1809"). "

The cereals you mentioned weren't on the list. Hope this is helpful.
Reply:Unlikely to be the cereal but most people eat cereal with fresh milk which is a much more likely cause.
