What happened

Navitas Naturals is recalling certain Superfood Goji bars because the sunflower seeds used in the bars were sourced from a supplier whose products were recalled due to potential Listeria Monocytogenes contamination. This is a precautionary recall to prevent any risk of foodborne illness.

Who is at risk

Anyone who consumed these bars could potentially be affected, though the risk is particularly serious for pregnant women, young children, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems.

What to do
