What happened

Navitas Naturals is recalling their Superfood Maca bars (Sweet Maple, Maca, Nut Bar, 1.4 oz size) because they were made with sunflower seeds that were recalled due to potential Listeria Monocytogenes contamination. The bars were distributed across 20 states and one Canadian location.

Who is at risk

Anyone who consumed these bars could be at risk, but people with weakened immune systems, pregnant women, and older adults are at higher risk for serious illness from Listeria.

What to do

Check your home for this product (look for the 1.4 oz Maca bars with gluten-free labeling). If you have them, do not eat them—discard them or return them to the store. Contact Navitas or your healthcare provider if you develop symptoms like fever, muscle aches, or gastrointestinal issues.
