What happened

Navitas Naturals is recalling Superfood Hemp bars (Creamy Peanut flavor, 1.4 oz size) because the sunflower seeds used in the bars were recalled due to potential contamination with Listeria Monocytogenes, a harmful bacteria. This is a serious safety issue, which is why the FDA classified it as a Class I recall.

Who is at risk

Everyone who consumed these bars could be at risk, though pregnant women, young children, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems face more serious complications from Listeria infection.

What to do

Stop eating this product if you have it and throw it away or return it to the store. If you have eaten this bar and develop symptoms like fever, muscle aches, nausea, or diarrhea within 2 weeks, contact your doctor and mention the recalled product.
