A variety of Quaker Oats granola bars has been recalled due to improper packaging saying the contents do not contain peanuts, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency announced Wednesday.
People with peanut allergies are warned not to consume the Quaker Oats Chewy Granola Bars Value Packs, sold in 364-g packages, “may have been mispacked with Quaker brand Dipps granola bars that contain peanuts,” according to the agency. The boxes bear a label stating the product is peanut-free, but the individually wrapped bars are labelled with the peanut warning.
The granola bars have been distributed across the country. There have been no allergic reactions linked to the consumption of the bars – yet. Peanuts are among the 10 most common food allergens. People with peanut allergies may experience life-threatening reactions if they eat the affected product.
The affected product bears the UPC 0 55577 10742 3 and all lot codes are affected by this alert.
