Quaker Expands List of Recalled Products

By Rockland Daily Staff

In December, the Quaker Oats Company issued a nationwide recall due to concerns of salmonella contamination involving a limited number of products, as reported by Rockland Daily here, the company has since announced an expansion of the recall to include additional cereals and bars.

​The new January 11 recall includes Quaker Chewy Granola Bars and Cereals, Cap’n Crunch Bars and select Cereals, Gamesa Marias Cereal, Gatorade Protein Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Bars, Munchies Munch Mix and Snack Boxes that include these products.

This recall does not include Quaker Oats, Quaker Instant Oats, Quaker Grits, Quaker Oat Bran, Quaker Oat Flour, or Quaker Rice Snacks.

There have been no confirmed cases of illness reported to Quaker Oats. Still, Salmonella contamination can sometimes cause serious and even fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly individuals, and those with weakened immune systems. 

Consumers can also contact Quaker Consumer Relations (9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. CST, Monday through Friday) at 1-800-492-9322 or visit here for additional information or product reimbursement.
