Several varieties of MadeGood Granola Bars are being recalled in Canada due to possible metal contamination, the company said.
Riverside Natural Foods, the company behind granola bars, issued a voluntary recall Monday due to the potential presence of metal fragments in the product, which could pose a safety risk if consumed.
“There is a very low risk that some of our granola bar products manufactured between January and November 2024 may contain a piece of metal,” the company said in a statement on its Canadian website.
“We have resolved the source of the issue and are proceeding with the voluntary recall with the knowledge of regulatory authorities.”
