Quaker Canada recalls cereals and granola bars over salmonella exposure
Check your pantry immediately — you might have a recalled box of Quaker cereal in your home that isn’t safe to consume.
Various cereals and granola bars have been recalled across Canada due to possible salmonella contamination. The list comprises mainly Quaker brand products, but one Cap’n Crunch product has also been affected.
“Do not consume, use, sell, serve, or distribute recalled products,” Health Canada warns.

The recall applies to products with specific Universal Product Codes (UPCs) and best-before dates. To check if you bought one of the impacted products, check the relevant UPCs and dates here.
The products were pulled after a recall in another country, and no illnesses associated with their consumption have been reported.
A Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) investigation is underway, and the agency is verifying that all affected products are removed from shelves.
Contact your doctor if you think you might have gotten sick from eating one of these products. Don’t sell, use, or give away recalled products — it is a crime in Canada.
“Food contaminated with salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick. Young children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems may contract serious and sometimes deadly infections,” warned Health Canada.
“Healthy people may experience short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Long-term complications may include severe arthritis,” it concluded.
