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

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.
