Riverside Natural Foods is recalling numerous batches of its MadeGood granola bars because there could potentially contain a metal piece that entered during manufacturing, which could be harmful if eaten, the company said Wednesday.
"Consumers who have already consumed recalled products do not need to worry," a Riverside Natural Foods spokesperson told ConsumerAffairs. "The piece of metal is small, but large enough to be seen or felt, and it is highly unlikely to be present in our products."
No injuries have been reported, the spokesperson said.

How was the metal found in the recalled granola bars?
Riverside Natural Foods received seven customer complaints about the metal out of hundreds of millions of bars sold, a company spokesperson told ConsumerAffairs.
The metal originated from a "a brush that is used to deep-clean the oven conveyor used in our granola-making process" that came "loose during the sanitation process and had transferred to the conveyor belt where the granola was placed after baking," the spokesperson said.
"We no longer use the brush that sourced the bristles, we have implemented additional safeguards in the sanitation process, and we have enhanced our metal detection process for finished goods," the spokesperson added. "We've tested the new processes to ensure that any risk of future contamination is mitigated."
