Treehouse Foods recall: Wegmans Dark Chocolate Cherry Cashew chewy granola bars

Treehouse Foods, of Oak Brook, IL, recalled Wegmans Dark Chocolate Cherry Cashew chewy granola bars.

The company began the recall voluntarily on June 14, 2017, and the FDA first listed it in its Enforcement Report of October 4, 2017.

Source and notes

U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Enforcement Reports (openFDA food recall data) (Public domain (U.S. government work); source U.S. Food and Drug Administration, openFDA), data as of October 4, 2017.

Each week the FDA lists the recalls it has classified in its Enforcement Report, often weeks after the company announced the recall, so a month with five weekly reports tends to count more. Each recall counts once, however many products it covers, in the month FDA first listed it. Class I means the food could cause serious harm or death, Class II temporary or minor harm, and Class III is unlikely to harm anyone. Meat, poultry and most egg products are recalled by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, not the FDA, and aren't included. For what to do with a recalled product, see the FDA's recalls page.
