Quaker Oats Adds 24 Items To Massive Recall That Includes Products Sold In Minnesota + Wisconsin

In December, Quaker Oats issued a nationwide recall that included dozens of their granola bars and granola cereals. The products included in the recall are sold in  Minnesota and Wisconsin.

The reason for the big recall is that the Quaker Oats products in question have the potential to be contaminated with salmonella. Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

Healthy people infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, salmonella infections can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis, and arthritis.

Therefore, because of the potential for these products to be contaminated, consumers are asked to check their pantries for all of the recalled products immediately.
