While the old-fashioned oats you use in your famous No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies are in the clear, you may want to check your snack stash for a long list of Quaker granola products that aren’t quite so lucky.

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration just announced a recall of household snacks from The Quaker Oats Company for their potential contamination with Salmonella—an organism that can result in serious, sometimes fatal, infections. The granola products, which include flavors of the popular Quaker Chewy Bars and Chewy Dipps, were distributed and sold across all 50 states, Puerto Rico, Guam, and Saipan. Thankfully, there have not yet been any reports of illness or hospitalization in connection with this recall.
