Quaker Oats recalls some of its granola bars, cereals for possible salmonella risk
View Date:2024-12-25 00:08:30
Quaker Oats is recalling dozens of its granola bars and granola cereals because they may be contaminated with salmonella.
The company, which is part of PepsiCo, announced the recall Friday of some of its granola bars and granola cereals, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Among the products recalled are various flavors of Quaker Big Chewy Bars and variety packs, and Quaker Simply Granola cereals.
The products were sold in all 50 states, as well as in Puerto Rico, Guam and Saipan, the FDA said. Consumers should dispose of and not eat any of these Quaker products, the agency said. People can contact Quaker Consumer Relations at 1-800-492-9322 or visit www.quakergranolarecall.com for additional information or product reimbursement.
Salmonella is a bacteria that can get into the food preparation chain when people handling food do not wash their hands or fail to keep the food production process sanitary, according to the FDA. The bacteria is most typically spread in raw or undercooked foods.
Quaker Oats: No illnesses from salmonella in granola recall
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates salmonella causes about 1.35 million illnesses, 26,500 hospitalizations, and 420 deaths in the U.S. annually. Most people who get sick from salmonella develop symptoms – such as diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps – between six hours and six days after infection, the CDC says. More severe cases of infection may include aches, headaches, elevated fever, lethargy, rashes, blood in the urine or stool. In some instances, the illness may become fatal.
Quaker Oats did not elaborate on how the potential contamination occurred. But the company said there have been no confirmed reports of illnesses related to the products in this recall in a statement on its website.
