(GoRealNewsNow.com) – Snack consumers beware! The FDA recalled over 2 million MadeGood granola bars due to potential metal contamination.
Recently, the agency classified the recall of MadeGood granola bars as Class II, indicating potential health risks. This decision followed concerns about the introduction of metal into the bars during production.
The metal is believed to have come from a small, flat brush bristle that entered the manufacturing process.
Over 2 million granola bars were produced between January and November 2024, some possibly containing these metal fragments.
The FDA’s Class II recall suggests “temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.”
Consumers were advised to remain vigilant and dispose of any affected products despite the potential risks.
While no injuries have been reported to date, MadeGood and Riverside Natural Foods Inc. conducted a thorough investigation and corrected the oversight.
Consumers are encouraged to return affected bars to the store for a full refund and to check the product’s Best by Date and UPC number.
Moreover, this recall impacts consumers across the United States and Canada, as the bars are available in major retailers like Target, Walmart, Whole Foods, and Amazon.
Similar to MadeGood, Quaker Oats issued a recall in January due to possible salmonella contamination in some granola bars and cereal products.
These recurring issues underscore the need for a complete overhaul of food safety protocols and increased accountability for manufacturers.
Riverside Natural Foods Inc. underscored its commitment to customer safety and implemented new measures to prevent future contamination incidents.
Ultimately, while metal contamination is a concerning issue, the company’s prompt action and transparency should offer some reassurance to consumers.
