Blair residents who shop at the local Walmart should check their pantries following a nationwide recall of MadeGood granola bars announced December 9, 2024. Walmart is among the major retailers carrying these products nationwide.
We spoke with the Blair Walmart who said all MadeGood granola bars have been pulled from their shelves, and you can return any you have for a refund. We also spoke with Jay at Family Fare (because we found the MadeGood bars in the online Family Fare shopping app) who said A) there are no MadeGood granola bars on the shelves because B) they don’t carry them at this location in Blair.
Blair residents who shop at the local Walmart, though, should check their pantries following a nationwide recall of MadeGood granola bars announced December 9, 2024. Walmart is among the major retailers carrying these products nationwide.
“We are voluntarily recalling certain MadeGood granola bars as a precautionary measure due to a potential safety hazard,” the company stated in their official announcement. “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 recall affects multiple varieties including:
- Chocolate Chip Granola Bars
- Mixed Berry Granola Bars
- Strawberry Granola Bars
- Cookies & Crème Granola Bars
- Chocolate Banana Granola Bars
- Chocolate Drizzled Birthday Cake Granola Bars
- Chocolate Drizzled Cookie Crumble Granola Bars
- Chocolate Drizzled Vanilla Granola Bars
According to the FDA notice, “Riverside has conducted an extensive investigation where the recalled products were manufactured and has identified the source of the issue in the manufacturing process. The company has remediated the issue and tested the new processes to ensure that any future risk is fully mitigated.”
“We have addressed the source of the issue and are conducting the voluntary recall with the knowledge of regulatory authorities,” MadeGood officials stated. “There have been no reports of injury; we’re initiating this recall out of an abundance of caution and commitment to the well-being of our valued customers.”
Blair Walmart shoppers who have purchased these products should check them against the recall list. Products marked with a “Z” after the Best By Date are excluded from this recall. Affected products can be returned to Walmart for a full refund.
