Quaker Oats Expands Recall of Products Over Salmonella Concerns

No illnesses have been confirmed to be linked to the recalled products, but consumers are advised to dispose of them.

Quaker Oats has expanded a recall from December to include additional cereals, granola bars and snacks due to potential salmonella contamination.
The expanded recall includes products such as Quaker Chewy Granola Bars, Cap’n Crunch Bars and cereals, Gamesa Marias Cereal, Gatorade Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Bars, and Munchies Munch Mix.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has received at least 24 reports of adverse events related to the products initially recalled, but no illnesses have been confirmed to be linked to the foods.
Salmonella infections can cause fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and stomach pain, and can be fatal in rare cases.
Consumers are advised to check their pantries for any of the products listed and dispose of them, and can visit the company’s recall website for additional information and details on reimbursement.
