In a proactive measure to safeguard consumer well – being, Riverside Natural Foods has initiated a voluntary recall of multiple varieties of its MadeGood granola bars. The recall has been prompted by concerns over potential metal contamination within the products.
The affected granola bars were manufactured during the period from January to November 2024 and have been distributed across the United States, Canada, as well as in various international markets. As of now, there have been no reports of any injuries related to the consumption of these potentially contaminated products. However, the presence of metal in the granola bars poses a significant risk of choking or causing other injuries if ingested.
The company has assured consumers that it has addressed the underlying issue that led to the potential contamination and is actively collaborating with regulatory authorities to ensure compliance and transparency throughout the recall process.
The following flavors of MadeGood granola bars, all produced between January and November 2024, are part of the recall:
- 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
These products were sold through a variety of channels, including grocery stores and online retailers, in the U.S., Canada, and other countries. Consumers are advised to verify the exact Universal Product Codes (UPCs) and best – by dates of the products they have on hand by referring to the FDA Recall Notice and MadeGood’s Recall Page.
For consumers who may have these granola bars in their pantries, the company recommends checking for products manufactured in 2024 and cross – referencing the UPC and best – by date with the official recall list. If a product is identified as being part of the recall, it should either be discarded immediately or returned to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Should consumers require any further assistance or have questions regarding the recall, they can contact the MadeGood Hotline at 855 – 215 – 5695 during the hours of 8 AM – 5 PM EST.
Consumer safety remains of utmost importance. Even though no injuries have been reported thus far, it is crucial that consumers refrain from consuming these granola bars, as metal fragments can cause severe harm. To stay informed about the recall and any updates, individuals are encouraged to regularly visit the FDA’s website or MadeGood’s official recall page. Additionally, consumers are urged to share this important information with others to ensure that everyone checks their snacks for potential risks.
