Recall Issued On Granola Bars Due To Potential Salmonella

On December 15, 2023, Quaker Oats Company announced a recall of specific granola bars and granola cereals listed below because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.

The recalled products were distributed in Wyoming and throughout the nation in retail stores and other outlets.

Along with this, recalled products may have been sent home as part of the school nutrition program
in Wyoming.

The recalled product list consists of various granola bars, granola cereal and granola bars that were a part of variety packs or snack boxes.

The Wyoming Department of Agriculture Consumer Health Services division is contacting school districts due to the susceptible population and possible distribution through their nutrition programs, vendors and warehouses, and grocery chains to ensure they are aware of the recall and have removed products from shelves.

Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.

In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

If consumers have products from Quaker that may be a part of the recall in their possession, they should check the lot codes and if it is included in the recall, not consume it and dispose of it immediately.
