A Chicago-based company is voluntarily recalling granola bars over listeria concerns.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said the recall includes a small quantity of Quaker Quinoa Granola Bars made by the Quaker Oats Company.
According to the FDA, an ingredient supplier was found to have distributed sunflower kernels that may be contaminated with listeria monocytogenes.
“While the vast majority of potentially affected Quaker products were withheld from ever reaching retail shelves, the products being recalled were distributed nationwide,” the FDA said in a news release.
