Per the FDA, a Class II classification is given if a product “may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.”

What should you do if you have the recalled granola bars?
MadeGood said customers can return the potentially affected products to the same retailer where the food was purchased for a full refund. Once returned, the retailer will “destroy the product.”
At the time, MadeGood wrote in a statement, “We are voluntarily recalling certain MadeGood granola bars as a precautionary measure due to a potential safety hazard. There is a very small risk that some of our granola bar products made between January and November 2024 may contain a piece of metal.”
MadeGood said the recall was made “out of an abundance of caution and commitment” to its costumers, adding that no injuries had been reported.
In December, the company said it “conducted an extensive investigation where the recalled products were manufactured and have identified the source of an isolated issue in the manufacturing process that has been corrected.”
“The company has remedied the issue and tested the new processes to ensure that any future is fully mitigated,” MadeGood said.
