The Quaker Oats Company, owned by PepsiCo, recently added more products to a recall that started in December 2023, over possible salmonella contamination, raising the total number of products to more than sixty (60).
Quaker Oats initially recalled forty-three (43) products, including granola bars, cereals and various snack foods. The company added twenty-four (24) products to the list on 11th January, 2024. The newly recalled items include Quaker Chewy Granola Bars, Gatorade Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Bars, Cap’n Crunch Bars, Quaker Simply Granola Cereals, Gamesa Marias Cereal and other cereals. “To date, Quaker has received no confirmed reports of illness related to the products covered by this recall,” the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said in December. It is unclear if any illnesses have been reported since then. It was not immediately clear how the potential contamination occurred or how or when it first came to the attention of federal regulators or the company. The company listed the recalled products on its website and provided an option to request reimbursement. This recall does not include the following products:
Customers should check their pantries for any of the products and dispose of them, the FDA said. Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. Common symptoms of salmonella include fever, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, which may be bloody. In rare cases, salmonella can get into the bloodstream and result in more severe illnesses, such as infected arteries, according to the FDA. Individuals who are exposed usually start to feel sick six (6) hours to six (6) days later. Most infections are mild and last between four (4) and seven (7) days. More on this as it becomes available. [Source: The New York Times] We are a small operation.
