Quaker Oats Recalls Several Products Nationwide Over Salmonella Risk

The FDA made the announcement on Dec. 16, 2023

The Quaker Oats Company recalled several granola bars and cereals over a potential risk of contamination with Salmonella, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned on Dec. 15.

Salmonella can cause fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain in a healthy person and serious and sometimes fatal infections in children, seniors or others with weakened immune systems, the FDA said. As of Dec. 15, Quaker had received no confirmed reports of illnesses related to the recalled products, the FDA reported.

The recalled products include dozens of kinds of “Chewy Bars,” puffed granola and granola oats cereals and granola bars included in snack boxes. Popular flavors including Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip and Oatmeal Raisin are among the recalled items. The recall list does not include the company’s Cap’n Crunch cereal.
