Before you add a granola bar to your child's lunch box, be sure to double check the label as it may be contaminated with salmonella.

The Quaker Oats Company and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced an original recall of some Chewy granola bar and cereal products in December and added dozens more products to the list earlier this month.

No confirmed reports of illness related to the recalled products, which are sold nationwide, have been received by Quaker to date, according to the FDA.

Here's which products have been recalled, what symptoms to look for and what to do if you've purchased any recalled products.

Salmonella symptoms to look out for

Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly individuals and others with weakened immune systems, the FDA said.

Most people begin to develop symptoms 12 to 72 hours after infection, according to the FDA, and the illness usually lasts four to seven days, with most people recovering without treatment.

Salmonella can cause these symptoms:

  • Fever

  • Diarrhea (that can be bloody)

  • Nausea

  • Vomiting

  • Abdominal pain

In rare circumstances, more severe illnesses such as arterial infections, endocarditis and arthritis can occur if the organism gets into the bloodstream.
