Following the recall on Saturday from Vienna Beef for its beef frank links because of metal contamination, Purely Elizabeth has recalled several of its granola and bar products for a possible foreign matter contamination that could include plastic, rocks or glass.

According to Purely Elizabeth, the recall was issued because foreign materials were found in the cashews used in the products. The company said it has since changed its cashew supplier.

The recall affects 16-ounce packages of Coconut Cashew Grain-Free Granola with a UPC code of 855140002946 and a Best By Date of 11/30/19, 12/3/19, 12/5/19, and 12/4/19, 8-ounce packages of Coconut Cashew Grain-Free Granola with a UPC code of 855140002700 and a Best Buy Date of 10/19/19, 8-ounce packages of Banana Nut Butter Grain-Free Granola with Best Buy Dates of 10/17/19 and 12/12/19, and 8-ounce packages of Pumpkin Spice with Ashwagandha Superfood Grain-Free Granola with a UPC code of 810589030158 and a Best Buy Date of 12/7/19.

The bars affected by the recall includes 1.4-ounce Banana Nut Butter Grain-Free Bars with a UPC code of 855140002090 and a Best By Date of 11/26/19, 1.4-ounce Chocolate Sea Salt Grain-Free Bars with a UPC code of 855140002083 and a Best Buy Date of 11/28/19, 1.4-ounce Peanut Butter Grain-Free Bars with a UPC code of 855140002076 and a Best By Date of 11/29/19, 1.4-ounce Coconut Cashew Grain-Free Bars with a UPC code of 855140002137 and a Best By Date of 11/27/19, and 12/20/19, 12/21/19.

The UPC code on the granola is printed in black on the bottom of the bags and is located on the bottom of the bars near the nutritional facts panel. The best by date for both products is stamped on the backing of the packaging in black ink. The recalled granola and bars were distributed nationwide and on the Purely Elizabeth website.

Labels of the products can be viewed here.

Consumers are urged not to consume the recalled granola and bar products. Consumers should take a photo of the recalled product and email it to Purely Elizabeth via email at support@purelyelizabeth.com and then dispose of the recalled product. Purely Elizabeth said it will replace the affected granola or bar with a new bag of granola or bar that has not been impacted by the recall.

Purely Elizabeth discovered the issue through a customer complaint. The company has not received any reports of illness or injury from the recalled granola and bar products. No other Purely Elizabeth products are part of the recall, the company said.

Purely Elizabeth said it is conducting the recall in cooperation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The recall has not been posted to the FDA’s website as of the time of writing.
