Skip to contentFriends, hold off on crunching that granola bar! A recall has been issued by Quaker Oats on a number of its products because to the possibility that salmonella, a microscopic and unwanted guest, may be present. It’s wise to be cautious and put those Quaker sweets on hold for a while because this sneaky bacteria can cause some serious stomach problems.
What is all the commotion about?
The troublesome bacteria salmonella can be found in food and drink. It can settle down in your stomach and host one huge, messy party in the form of cramps, diarrhea, fever, and nausea if you happen to swallow it. Probably not the precise breakfast we’re craving, don’t you think?
Which Quaker goods are listed as sinful?
Not all of their oats are included; only a few cereals, granola bars, and snack mixes are. Although the whole list is available online, the following is a preview of some of the suspects:
Chocolate Chip, Almond Coconut, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, Cranberry Almond, and other flavors are available in Quaker Chewy Granola Bars.
Quaker Chewy Granola with Cranberry Almond, Maple Brown Sugar, and Honey Nut Crisp for breakfast.
Crunch-A-Cap Treats Cereal Bars: Peanut Butter Crunch, Chocolate Peanut Butter, and Berry Crunch.
Additional cereals and mixes include Gatorade Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Bars, Gamesa Marias Cereal, Quaker Oatmeal Squares, and several snack kits that include these items.
I recently finished one of those, though! Must I freak out?
Don’t start sweating profusely just yet. The majority of healthy persons can recover from a mild case of salmonella in a few days. However, visit your doctor straight away if you’re feeling particularly unwell, such as having severe stomach discomfort, bloody stools, or an uncontrollably high temperature. Even if their symptoms are modest, people with compromised immune systems, pregnant women, and small children should be very cautious regarding salmonella and should see a doctor.
What should I do, then, in the event that I own a recalled product?
Firstly, please do not consume it! Put that granola bar in the garbage, but not before washing your hands. Next, for comprehensive instructions on how to receive a refund or replacement, visit the Quaker Oats website. There’s no reason to worry because they’ve made it fairly simple.
Is there anything else I can do to be safe?
Never forget that food safety is essential! The following advice will help you avoid salmonella:
