The Quaker Oats Company has issued a nationwide recall for more than 40 types of granola bars, snacks, and cereals due to potential Salmonella contamination.
Recall of Quaker Oats Products
The granola bar section of grocery stores across the country may be noticeably empty as the Quaker Oats Company has recalled more than 40 varieties of granola bars, snacks, and cereals. The recall was issued due to the potential presence of Salmonella in the products. Salmonella can cause severe illness and even death.
The affected products include 26 types of Quaker Chewy granola bars, eight varieties of Quaker cold granola cereals, and 10 snack boxes that may contain Frito-Lay products. The recall extends to Quaker products sold in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Guam, and Saipan.
Despite the recall, there have been no confirmed reports of illness related to the affected products. However, consumers are urged to check their pantries for any of the recalled items and dispose of them.
