Given Imaging Ltd. is recalling 2,665 units of SmartPill SmartBar cereal bars because they may be contaminated with tobacco beetles. The 2.53 oz bars were sold in 5-packs primarily to medical facilities and diagnostic centers for use in gastrointestinal tests. No injuries or illnesses have been reported to date. Consumers and healthcare providers should stop using the affected bars and return them for a refund or dispose of them.
The cereal bars may contain tobacco beetles, a common food pest. While not typically a source of severe toxic harm, the presence of insects in food products used in clinical settings represents a significant quality failure and potential health risk to patients.
