A salmonella outbreak tied to Metabolic Meals home-delivery products has sickened at least 16 people in 10 states, and another seven have been hospitalized, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported.

The affected meals were produced and shipped by Metabolic Meals during the week of July 28. The CDC warns customers to check their refrigerators and freezers for the products and not eat them.

The CDC says the following meals are linked to the outbreak:

The CDC advises anyone with these products to throw them out immediately or contact the company for instructions.

Cases of salmonella have been identified in California, Missouri, Georgia, Minnesota, Texas, Arkansas, Illinois, Rhode Island, Wisconsin and Washington state, according to the CDC.

The agency also said the true number of illnesses is probably higher than reported, as it typically takes three to four weeks to confirm whether a sick person is part of an outbreak.

"Metabolic Meals is collaborating with investigators and has reached out to customers directly who purchased the meal types listed above to inform them of the outbreak, " the CDC said in its statement.

People infected with salmonella may experience vomiting, diarrhea (sometimes bloody), cramping and fever.
