Eight of Purely Elizabeth's products have been recalled.
The ultra-popular gluten-free granola brand, Purely Elizabeth, is recalling a number of their products sold at retailers nationwide due to possible contamination with foreign matter.
According to a news release, the company learned of the issue from a customer complaint and they then discovered that select products — all containing cashews — could be contaminated with plastic, rocks or glass. As of last Thursday’s release, no injuries or illness have been reported.
Purely Elizabeth’s recalled products were sold at retailers nationwide, according to CBS News, including Whole Foods and Costco. They were also sold online via Amazon, Thrive Market and the Purely Elizabeth website.
