MadeGood granola bars recalled in December 2024 have received a class II recall classification from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the agency shared Tuesday.

On Dec. 9, 2024, Riverside Natural Foods, Inc. voluntarily recalled 2,408,883 cases of MadeGood granola bars due to a potential safety hazard, the company said in a news release.

Certain granola bar products—including the company’s chocolate chip granola bars and mixed berry granola bars, among others—carried the “very small risk” of containing a piece of metal.

The affected granola bars were made between January and November 2024, and distributed throughout Canada, the United States, and other international markets, the company said.

According to the MadeGood website, certain granola bars were recalled due to the potential presence of metal. The company said the piece of metal was a “small, flat brush bristle.”

MadeGood received “seven complaints out of the hundreds of millions of bars sold.” No injuries were reported and the recall was voluntarily initiated as a precautionary measure.

At the time of the initial recall announcement, the company said it had conducted an extensive investigation that identified and remedied the issue.

Certain batches of MadeGood granola bars that were produced between January and November 2024 were part of the recall. See below for the full list of products, along with their best by dates and product codes.

MadeGood granola bars were distributed throughout Canada, the U.S., and other international markets, the company said.

The granola bars are commonly sold online and in various retail stores. According to the company’s website, MadeGood products can be found on Amazon, and at Target, Whole Foods, Wegmans, and CVS stores, among others.

The FDA classifies recalls on a scale of class I to class III:

  • Class I: The most severe classification, these recalls mean there’s a “reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.”
  • Class II: These recalls involve products that “may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.”
  • Class III: The least severe classification, these recalls involve a product that “is not likely to cause adverse health consequences.”

The MadeGood granola bar recall was given a class II classification. Though the product may cause “temporary or medically reversible” health consequences if ingested, the risk of serious injury is remote.

MadeGood recommends customers check their products against the list of recalled items to see if they have any granola bars affected by the recall.

If you have any of the recalled granola bars in your pantry, the company said you can return them to the store where they were purchased to receive a full refund.

If you think you’ve eaten a recalled granola bar, no need to worry—no injuries have been reported in connection to the recall, the company said.

Additionally, if you have any further questions about the recall or updated FDA classification, MadeGood suggested consumers contact the MadeGood Consumer Hotline at 855-215-5695 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. EST, or visit the MadeGood website.
