Quaker Oats recall expands: Cap'n Crunch cereal, granola bars and more added to list

The expanded recall now includes some Cap'n Crunch Bars and select Cap'n Crunch cereals, Gatorade Protein Bars and Munchies Munch Mix.

WASHINGTON — The Quaker Oats Company has added two dozen additional types of granola bars, cereals and snack foods to a December recall over possible salmonella contamination.

The company, which is owned by PepsiCo., announced the additional recall in the U.S. and Canada on Thursday.

The expanded recall includes Quaker Chewy Granola Bars and Cereals, Cap'n Crunch Bars and select cereals, Gamesa Marias Cereal, Gatorade Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Bars, Munchies Munch Mix and snack boxes that contain those products. It also includes some Cap'n Crunch Instant Oatmeal products and select Quaker Oatmeal Squares cereals. 

The initial December recall from Quaker Oats only included granola products, including granola bars and cereals.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has received at least 24 reports of adverse events related to the products initially recalled, but no illnesses have been confirmed to be linked to the foods, an agency spokesperson said Friday. Adverse events can include medical problems, but also complaints about off taste or color of a product, defective packaging or other non-medical issues, the official said. FDA will continue to investigate the reports.

Salmonella infections can cause fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and stomach pain. In rare cases, the bacterial infections can be fatal.

Consumers should check their pantries for any of the products listed and throw them away. The company's recall website has additional information and details on reimbursement.
