Purely Elizabeth Issues Recall After Plastic, Rocks Found in Granola
Purely Elizabeth has issued a voluntary recall after some customers found foreign objects in a variety of grain-free granolas and bars. These products were sold at major retailers such as Whole Foods, Fresh Market, Walmart, Target, and Amazon across the country.
Purely Elizabeth issued a statement on their website saying, “If you have purchased our Coconut Cashew Grain-Free Granola, Banana Nut Butter Grain-Free Granola, Pumpkin Spice + Ashwagandha Grain-Free Superfood Granola, they may be impacted by this recall.” It was originally believed that Purely Elizabeth bars were part of the recall, but Hilary Martin, a public relations representative for Purely Elizabeth, says they "fortunately did not make it to retail."

If you have purchased our Coconut Cashew Grain-Free Granola, Banana Nut Butter Grain-Free Granola, Pumpkin Spice + Ashwagandha Grain-Free Superfood Granola or our Grain-Free Bars, they may be impacted by this recall.
