KINGSTON, Jamaica— The Quaker Oats Company has withdrawn select granola bars and granola cereals from the market due a potential contamination with salmonella.

The company gave the warning in a news release on Wednesday, stating that salmonella can cause severe infection and occasionally could result in fatal outcomes in young children, frail and elderly people, and others with a weakened immune system.

“Healthy individuals infected with salmonella typically experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, Salmonella infection can lead to the organism entering the bloodstream and causing more serious illnesses, such as infected arteries, endocarditis, and arthritis,” Quaker Oats said.

The products with the potential contamination were produced in the United Stated and distributed to Jamaica, the release said.

The products being recalled are from the Chewy and the Chewy Dipps brands, and the Quaker Granola cereal that have the best before dates of August 2, 2024, September 1, 2024, June 3, 2024, January 9, 2024 and October 1, 2024, or earlier.

Granola bars included in snack boxes with expiration dates on or earlier than June 3, 2024 and March 12, 2024 were also withdrawn.

A full product list including the bar code associated with the recalled items has been published on the company’s website at www.quakergranolarecall.com.

“The company informs potential consumers to check their pantries for any of the listed products and discard them. Additionally, consumers with any of the mentioned products can return the described product to the original store where they purchased it, presenting their purchase receipt.
