Unsweetened puffed rice and puffed wheat made by the Malt-O-Meal company may be contaminated with salmonella, reports AP News. 21 people in 13 states are reported to have been infected with the same strain of salmonella that appears to be linked to the breakfast cereals. Though 3 people have been hospitalized, no deaths have been reported. Salmonella is a common food poisoning and most recently became infamous for poisoning the water for the town of Alamosa, Colorado.
