Over 63,000 Pounds of Oats Have Been Recalled — Here's What We Know So Far
This article may contain affiliate links that Yahoo and/or the publisher may receive a commission from if you buy a product or service through those links. Oats are a staple in most pantries (I know they are in mine), and the possibilities of things you can make with the humble grain are endless. Maybe you've been making oatmeal pancakes for your family on the weekends, or oatmeal muffins for your kids to grab on their way to the bus stop. Whatever the case may be, it's clear that oats are versatile. But before you grab some for the next recipe you're whipping up, you may want to double-check the container. The Food and Drug Administration just recalled over 63,000 pounds of oats due to plastic contamination. The oats (both regular and quick rolled) were produced by Grain Millers Inc., a company based out of Eden Prairie, Minnesota, and sent to distributors in California and Indiana. The recall was first initiated on February 11, 2025, and the FDA officially deemed it a 'Class II' recall on April 22, 2025 (meaning it could 'cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences'). According to Grain Millers Inc.'s website, the company is the 'world's largest organic oat processor and produces about 1/4 of all the oats in North America.' While it's suspected that these oats may have been shipped to businesses (such as bakeries, for example), you may want to check your oats if you live in California or Indiana. Here are the exact batches that were recalled. 20 totes of 1,800 pounds of Regular Rolled Oats #5 with a product identification number of 810239153 and code information number of 250131N-1 17 totes of 1,600 pounds of Quick Rolled Oats #21 with a product identification number of 811176 and code information number of 250202N-2 No injuries or illnesses have been reported yet, but if you happen to have these recalled oats, do not consume them. Throw them out immediately or return them to the seller you bought them from for a refund. Consuming plastic could be extremely dangerous and cause choking or puncture wounds in the mouth and throat, or it could become lodged in your digestive tract. If your oats have one of the product identification numbers listed above, we recommend tossing them — better to be safe than sorry! This article originally published on The Kitchn.

Oats are a staple in most pantries (I know they are in mine), and the possibilities of things you can make with the humble grain are endless. Maybe you've been switching out your classic oatmeal breakfast for overnight oats as the weather warms up. Or you're adding some as a topping to a fruit crumble.
