Some MadeGood granola bars sold in Wisconsin are being recalled for possible metal contamination
The Food and Drug Administration updated a recall of more than 2.4 million cases of MadeGood granola bars, warning consumers that they could "cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences," according to the agency. Chicago-based Riverside Natural Foods voluntarily recalled certain batches of its granola bars due to potential metal contamination on Dec. 10. This month, the FDA issued a Class II recall, a more serious classification in which the product is likely to cause more adverse health consequences. MadeGood said on its website the potential piece of metal is a 'small, flat brush bristle,' adding that it is 'highly unlikely to be present in our products.' MadeGood products are sold nationwide in retail stores and online, including at Walmart, Target and Amazon. Here's what products are being recalled and what to do if you've purchased them in Wisconsin. Those products originally recalled include: Chocolate Chip Granola Bars Mixed Berry Granola Bars Strawberry Granola Bars Cookies & Crème Granola Bars Chocolate Banana Granola Bars Chocolate Drizzled Birthday Cake Granola Bars Chocolate Drizzled Cookie Crumble Granola Bars Chocolate Drizzled Vanilla Granola Bars The recalled products were produced between January and November 2024 and distributed throughout Canada, the United States and other international markets. An "isolated issue" in the manufacturing process that prompted the recall has already been corrected, MadeGood said in December, adding that it worked with retailers to remove impacted products from store shelves. MadeGood is offering refunds to any customer who has a recalled product in their pantry. Those who have purchased MadeGood granola products are asked to check their package against the recall list. If they have a listed product, they may return it to the store where they bought it for a full refund. Anyone with questions regarding the recall can call the MadeGood Consumer Hotline at 855-215-5695 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. EST or visit the MadeGood website.

FDA sets risk level on recall of over 2 million MadeGood granola bar cases
The Food and Drug Administration has made updates to a December recall of over 2.4 million cases of MadeGood granola bars, warning consumers of adverse health risks associated with the recall. Riverside Natural Foods Inc., the Chicago-based parent company of the organic snack manufacturer, voluntarily recalled the products due to the possibility that they were contaminated with metal. The metal would have been from a small, flat brush bristle used in the manufacturing process, according to MadeGood, which said it received seven complaints that prompted the recall, first announced Dec. 9. The recall was made "out of an abundance of caution and commitment to the well-being of our valued customers," MadeGood said in announcing the decision. While no injuries have been reported from those who consumed the identified products, the FDA this month rated the recall as a "Class II" level. See what's being recalled: Check USA TODAY's recall database Class II recalls are reserved for products that could "cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences" for consumers who are exposed to them. In these situations, the chances for "serious adverse health consequences is remote," according to the FDA. This is more serious than a Class III recall, in which using a recalled product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences. Class I is the most severe classification for recalls, as it's reserved for products that have a "reasonable probability" to cause serious adverse health consequences or death if used. In the case of the MadeGood products, the FDA cited the fact that the food "may contain metal pieces" as justification for the classification. Those products originally recalled include: Chocolate Chip Granola Bars Mixed Berry Granola Bars Strawberry Granola Bars Cookies & Crème Granola Bars Chocolate Banana Granola Bars Chocolate Drizzled Birthday Cake Granola Bars Chocolate Drizzled Cookie Crumble Granola Bars Chocolate Drizzled Vanilla Granola Bars MadeGood granola bar recall by jcannonswim87 on Scribd The recalled products were produced between January and November 2024 and distributed throughout Canada, the United States and other international markets.
