Its statement said, “There is a very small risk that some of our granola bar products made between January and November 2024 may contain a piece of metal.” The metal is described as a small, flat brush bristle.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the recall on its website on December 9, 2024. It stated that Riverside Natural Foods Inc. voluntarily recalled certain batches of MadeGood granola bars due to the same issue.
The FDA shared that if consumed, the metal could pose a safety hazard. MadeGood has addressed the source of the issue, and regulatory authorities are aware of the recall. The company said it initiated the recall “out of an abundance of caution and commitment to the well-being of our valued customers,” noting that no injury reports have been made.
The company also revealed that it received seven complaints out of the hundreds of millions of bars sold. MadeGood advises customers to check their product codes and return any recalled products to the stores where they were purchased for a full refund.
The recalled products were classified as Class II by the FDA, which defines a Class II recall as “a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.”
