A recall has been issued for Trader Joe’s Chocolate Chip Chewy Coated Granola Bars due to the risk that they may be contaminated with bacteria that could cause salmonella poisoning.

The Trader Joe’s granola bar recall was announced by the FDA and Trader Joe’s Company on February 10. The bars were manufactured by Bloomfield Bakery, a subsidiary of Ralcorp Holdings. Although there have been no illnesses reported in connection to the salmonella contamination, consumers have been urged not to eat the granola bars and to return them to Trader Joe’s for a full refund.

The recall affects Trader Joe’s Chocolate Chip Chewy Coated Granola Bars with a UPC number of 82818, and with Use by Dates and Lot Codes of 16JUL10H2 and 17JUL10H1. The bars were sold in a 7.4 ounce box with the Use by/Lot Codes on top of the box and on each individual bar’s packaging.

Salmonella food poisoning can cause symptoms such as abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, bloody diarrhea and fever. While symptoms tend to resolve within a few days or weeks for most healthy adults, the elderly, young children and those with weakened immune systems may be more susceptible to severe, and potentially life-threatening, infections.

Trader Joe’s has removed all of the remaining products from its shelves and destroyed them, and the Bloomfield Bakery has suspended operations while the FDA conducts an investigation. Customers with questions can contact Trader Joe’s at (626)599-3817.

My teenage daughter was eating the chocolate chip granola bars (one each day with her lunch) in Januray and was violently ill to the point that she had to be admitted to the hospital for 2 1/2 days for dehydration because she coul not keep anything down. I returned the boxes to Trader Joe’s and did not write down the dates prior to returning them.

Have a box with Aug 16, 2010 expiration date. Probably already ate through July boxes. Had cramping for a few days recently. I did not know about recall until asked store manager where the bars were. No signs up of recall. Just thought the item was maybe discontinued. If I had not asked store mgr of wherabouts of the bars never would have known why i was ill for a few days. Told manager to reinstall signs in store as one week’s notice not sufficient.

We purchased a box of Nutty Chocolate Granola bars on Sunday, Feb. 14th. My daughter (9yrs. old) ate one in the afternoon of Monday, Feb. 15th. She has been throwing up since 5:00 a.m. this morning, Tuesday, Feb. 16th. Coincidence???? The box we purchased has an expiration date of August 14, 2010 and is a 7.4 oz box.
