Despite not receiving any reports of salmonella infections linked to the affected granola items, Quaker, a subsidiary of PepsiCo, initiated the recall as a precautionary measure.

The recalled products encompass granola oats cereals and Quaker Chewy Bars, also available in PepsiCo’s snack mixes, distributed across all 50 U.S. states and territories.

Customer Guidance and Recall Details

Quaker urges customers in possession of the recalled products to dispose of them immediately. Additionally, the company advises contacting their customer support line or visiting the recall website for further information and reimbursement related to the affected items.

Salmonella Impact and Recall Product List

Salmonella infections pose significant health risks, causing an estimated 1.35 million cases annually in the U.S., leading to around 26,500 hospitalizations and 420 deaths.

Quaker’s recall includes an extensive list of products covering various flavors and types, aiming to prevent potential health hazards associated with salmonella contamination.
