On September 6, 2025, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported a Salmonella outbreak linked to certain home delivery meals from Metabolic Meals. The outbreak has sickened over a dozen people across 10 states, with 7 individuals requiring hospitalization.
The affected meals were made and delivered by Metabolic Meals during the week of July 28. The specific meal varieties involved include those listed by the CDC. People in California, Missouri, Georgia, Minnesota, Texas, Arkansas, Illinois, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, and Washington state have fallen ill.
Metabolic Meals is a home delivery meal subscription service that focuses on macro-friendly meals. The company is cooperating with investigators and has reached out directly to customers who purchased the implicated meal types to inform them of the outbreak.
Public health officials caution that the number of people affected may be higher, as it typically takes 3-4 weeks to determine if a sick person is part of an outbreak. Symptoms of Salmonella infection can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever. In rare cases, more serious complications can arise.
The CDC has advised consumers to check their refrigerators and freezers for any of the affected Metabolic Meals products and to discard them immediately. The agency also recommends that people contact the company if they have purchased the listed meal varieties.
