Massachusetts is famous for a lot of things. Plymouth Rock, The Boston Tea Party, great sports teams, and terrible drivers. In addition to all those staples (and stereotypes), there is also a ton of great food products that come out of the Bay State and we're not just talking baked beans and Boston cream donuts.

Several famous food companies call Massachusetts home. Some started here as small companies and have since expanded; some have kept their manufacturing here at home. Popular brands like Cape Cod Chips, Fluffernutter, and Hood Dairy products are all made here in Massachusetts.

One food product that's very popular in Massachusetts was recently recalled over contamination concerns.

According to the FDA, Riverside Natural Foods Inc. voluntarily recalls certain batches of its MadeGood granola bars. It is being considered a precautionary measure as no injuries have been reported.

The recalled products were produced between January and November of this year

The affected MadeGood products are listed below. Anyone who purchased an affected product can return them to the point of purchase for a full refund.

  • Chocolate Chip Granola Bars
  • Mixed Berry Granola Bars
  • Strawberry Granola Bars
  • Cookies & Crème Granola Bars
  • Chocolate Banana Granola Bars
  • Chocolate Drizzled Birthday Cake Granola Bars
  • Chocolate Drizzled Cookie Crumble Granola Bars
