US brand of granola bars recalled due to possible metal contamination

Singapore authorities have ordered a recall of three Select MadeGood Granola Bar products imported from the U.S., due to the possible presence of a piece of metal.

Three granola bar products recalled

The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) said in a Dec. 13 media release that it had been alerted by the United States Food and Drug Administration that a voluntary recall of the products had been issued in the U.S..

As such, SFA has directed online retailer Redmart to recall three implicated products, namely the MadeGood Granola Bars Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Banana and Mixed Berry flavours.

The recall is ongoing.

Issue has been identified and fixed: U.S. manufacturer

The manufacturer, Riverside Natural Foods Inc., had announced the recall of certain batches of MadeGood granola bars on Dec. 9 due to the potential presence of a piece of metal in the product, which could be hazardous if consumed.

The company said that no injuries were reported, and the recall was being initiated as a precautionary measure.

The recalled products were produced between January and November 2024.

Riverside added that it has identified and remediated the source of the issue in the manufacturing process, and that the new processes have been tested to mitigate future risks.

In its release, SFA noted that under Singapore's food laws, food products known to be unsafe for consumption should not be sold.

Those who have consumed the products and are unwell should seek medical attention, SFA said.

Consumers may contact their point of purchase for enquiries.
