Clio Strawberry Granola & Greek Yogurt Parfait Bar recall: Reason, affected lot, UPC code, and all you need to know

Clio Snacks of Piscataway, N.J., has issued a nationwide recall for its Clio Strawberry Granola & Greek Yogurt Parfait Bar over concerns about potential Listeria monocytogene contamination. Consumption of contaminated granola bars can result in severe to fatal infections and other health risks in people of all ages.

Announced on March 14, the voluntary recall was initiated following reports of potentially limited exposure at a third-party manufacturer’s facility that produced the Parfait Bars. Clio does not produce Parfait bars at its own facility and gets them pre-made by a third-party contract manufacturer.

The recall was issued right after a routine testing program conducted by the company revealed that the Strawberry Parfait product produced by the contract manufacturer may contain Listeria monocytogenes.

Listeria monocytogenes can cause severe to fatal infections in people with weakened immune systems like young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and those with lingering medical issues.

While a healthy person may only experience short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headaches, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, the infection can also be the cause of miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

As of now, neither the company nor the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has received reports of illness or fatalities related to the consumption of the Listeria-contaminated product.

However, if you or a member of your family experiences any of the aforementioned symptoms, it’s best advised to take them to the nearest medical health center for proper medical care. A Listeria infection may not always require proper medical attention, but it is still advised to be cautious.
