See “First Source Recalls ‘Various Products Containing Sunflower Kernels Received From Our Supplier Sunoptia’ Because of Possible Health Risk” for a list of products previously recalled.
More than a dozen additional companies also are recalling products. See the article “Food Recall Roundup for the Week Ending June 12, 2016” on the Food Poisoning Bulletin website for details.
Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
As of June 3, there were two possible illnesses being investigated in connection with this recall.
The potential for contamination was noted after First Source received notice from its sunflower kernel supplier SunOpta about two positive Listeria monocytogenes results.
Consumers who have purchased any of these items are urged to destroy the product.
Consumers with questions cam contact the First Source at 716- 389-0264, Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., ET.
