More people are sick after eating Kellogg's Honey Smacks cereal, which was recalled in June over salmonella concerns. That brings the total number of cases to 130, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports.


The CDC told retailers not to sell any Kellogg’s Honey Smacks cereal and customers not to buy or eat it. This latest update follows a CDC advisory in July, when the health agency also told people not to eat the cereal.


The latest illnesses were reported across 19 states. Three of those states were not on the CDC's previous update: Delaware, Maine and Minnesota. In total, at least 36 states have been affected by the tainted cereal.


Eating cereal contaminated with salmonella can cause serious illness, including fatal infections, fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain, according to the CDC.


Reported illnesses linked to Honey Smacks date back to March, and more than 30 people have been hospitalized. Thankfully, no deaths have been reported.
