Quaker, which is owned by PepsiCo, said in a news release that it has not received any reports of salmonella infections related to the recalled granola products. The full list of recalled foods includes granola oats cereals and Quaker Chewy Bars, which are also sold in PepsiCo’s snack mixes.
The affected products have been sold in all 50 U.S. states, as well as U.S. territories, Quaker said. The company is asking customers with recalled products to throw them away and contact its customer support line or visit the recall website for more information and reimbursement.
According to estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, roughly 1.35 million cases of salmonella infection occur in the U.S. each year, causing approximately 26,500 hospitalizations and 420 deaths.
Amazon sent me an email two days ago about the bars I’d ordered last month.
I’m glad I’d already eaten 6 of the 18 bars before getting the notice. No salmonella thus far, but I did get Covid, so there’s that.
Ugh. That sucks. :(
Yep, I got an automated phone call from Costco last night explaining this.
Nice, I just ate the last granola bar in a family pack from about a month or two ago.
Don’t worry. The micro plastics and lead water will harden you from this.
That’s what I like to hear!
