Reason for recall
General Mills is recalling specific date codes of Cascadian Farm Organic Peanut Butter Chip Chewy Granola Bars because they contain peanuts recalled by Sunland, Inc. due to potential Salmonella contamination.
Salmonella causes fever, diarrhea and abdominal cramps, usually 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food. Most people recover without treatment, but severe cases can need hospital care.
