FDA Announces a Nationwide Recall on Granola Bars Due to Potential Metal Contamination

Riverside Natural Foods, Inc. just issued a voluntary recall on its MadeGood granola bars, due to the potential presence of metal pieces, which pose a safety hazard if consumed.

According to MadeGood's website, the company disclosed, "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. We have addressed the source of the issue and are conducting the voluntary recall with the knowledge of regulatory authorities."

The recall was also published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, where you can find specific details on the products being recalled. As of this writing, no injuries or illnesses have been reported.
