FDA classifies recall as second-highest risk level

A nationwide recall has been issued for over 2 million cases of MadeGood granola bars following concerns over potential metal contamination. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has categorized the recall under “Class II,” indicating a risk of temporary or medically reversible health effects.

Granola bars recall: Key details

Chicago-based Riverside Natural Foods Inc., the parent company of MadeGood, voluntarily recalled specific batches of its granola bars produced between January and November 2024. The recall follows seven consumer complaints regarding metal fragments found in the bars, despite the company selling hundreds of millions of units.

The company stated that the recall was initiated “due to the potential presence of a piece of metal in the product, which, if consumed, may result in a safety hazard,” according to USA Today.

Nature of contamination

MadeGood described the contamination as “a small, flat brush bristle” and assured consumers that its presence in products remains highly unlikely.

On February 11, the FDA raised the recall’s risk classification to Class II, warning that the consumption of affected products could lead to “temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, though the likelihood of serious health risks remains low.”

Following an internal investigation, Riverside Natural Foods identified the contamination source within the manufacturing process. “The company has remediated the issue and tested new processes to ensure that any future risk is fully mitigated,” the company confirmed in a statement.
