(Gray News) - Quaker Oats has expanded an earlier recall to include additional products amid concerns of salmonella contamination, the Food and Drug Administration announced.

The recall includes varieties of the company’s granola bars, cereal bars, cereals and snack mix.

All of the products are sold throughout all 50 U.S. states, Puerto Rico, Guam and Saipan.

A comprehensive list of the affected items can be found at QuakerRecallUSA.com.

There have been no confirmed reports of illnesses associated with the products, Quaker said.

People can scan the SmartLabel QR code on the package to determine if it has been recalled.

Salmonella can cause illnesses in healthy people that can include fever, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. The organism causes more serious illnesses in the young, old or those with compromised immune systems.

People should check their pantries for the Quaker products listed and dispose of them.

Consumers with any item affected by the recall can contact Quaker Consumer Relations (9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Central Standard Time, Monday through Friday) at 1-800-492-9322 or visit www.QuakerRecallUSA.com for reimbursement.
