MadeGood Recalls Popular Granola Bars Due to Potential Metal Contamination

Granola bars are great snacks to have on hand. However, if you have MadeGood granola bars in your pantry, check the label as certain batches have been recalled due to the potential presence of metal in the product, according to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Riverside Natural Foods Inc. voluntarily recalled MadeGood granola bars on December 9 after discovering metal in the products. The recalled products were produced between January and November 2024 and distributed throughout the United States, Canada, and other international markets.

The following MadeGood products are included in the recall: 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, and Chocolate Drizzled Vanilla Granola Bars. The UPCs and best buy dates of the products can be found on MadeGood's website.

Riverside has conducted an extensive investigation of where the recalled products were manufactured and identified the source of the issue. According to the FDA, the company has remediated the issue and tested the new processes to ensure that any future risk of metal contamination is eliminated.

No injuries have been reported to date, and the recall is being initiated as a precautionary measure. If you have the affected products in your home, the FDA says to return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund.
