• Quaker Oats is withdrawing its Chewy Bars over fears of salmonella contamination.
• The company has not yet received any reports of illnesses. 
• The CDC reports 1.35 million casings of salmonella annually, resulting in 26,500 hospitalizations.

Quaker Oats on Friday recalled several of its granola products, including granola blocks and cereals, saying the foods could be contaminated with salmonella.

Salmonella infections can cause fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and pot pain, according to the Food and Drug Administration. In rare cases, the bacterial disease can be fatal.

Quaker, which is owned by PepsiCo, answered in a news release that it has not received any reports of salmonella infections related to the recalled granola products. The full tabulate of recalled foods includes granola oats cereals and Quaker Chewy Bars, which are also sold in PepsiCo’s nosh mixes.

The affected products have been sold in all 50 US states, as well as US territories, Quaker said. The business is asking customers with recalled products to throw them away and contact its customer support line or descend upon the recall website for more information and reimbursement.

According to estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Restraint, roughly 1.35 million cases of salmonella infection occur in the US each year, causing approximately 26,500 hospitalizations and 420 deaths.
