Posted on July 22, 2024 by KSW | Leave a comment

Gov Canada

Product

Banana raisin oatmeal organic whole grain baby cereal

Issue

Food – Microbial Contamination – Other

What to do

Do not consume, use, sell, serve, or distribute recalled products

Distribution

National

Brand	Product	Size	UPC	Codes
Baby Gourmet Organic	Banana raisin oatmeal organic whole grain baby cereal	227 g	6 28619 10003 6	24122BROAC G 2 HH:MM BB: 2025AL03

The affected product is being recalled from the marketplace due to possible Cronobacter spp. contamination.

What you should do

If you think you became sick from consuming a recalled product, contact your healthcare provider
Check to see if you have recalled products
Do not consume, serve, use, sell, or distribute recalled products
Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the location where they were purchased

Food contaminated with Cronobacter may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick. Although Cronobacter is not commonly linked to human illness, in rare cases it can cause serious or fatal infections. Cronobacter can cause rare bloodstream and central nervous system infections and has been associated with severe intestinal infection (necrotizing enterocolitis) and blood poisoning (sepsis), especially in newborns.
