Public health officials, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, are investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella infection linked to certain home delivery meals made by Missouri-based Metabolic Meals, according to a Sept. 5 notice from the CDC.

“Do not eat affected Metabolic Meals products while the investigation is ongoing,” the agency said in the notice.
