Quaker Oats recalls granola products over risk of salmonella contamination

Quaker Oats has recalled several of its granola products because it says the foods could be contaminated with salmonella. The company is asking customers to throw out certain types of granola bars and granola cereals to avoid infection. As of Friday, Quaker said it had not received any reports of salmonella infections related to the recalled foods. Salmonella infections can cause fever, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. In rare cases, the bacterial disease can be fatal. Customers are being asked to report their recalled products to the company by phone or online for more information and reimbursement.
