Nature Valley Recalled Products After Risk of Listeria

Nature Valley, Clif Bar, and Quaker are among the brands that have pulled products from US stores after sunflower seed provider, SunOpta, recalled sunflower seeds that could have been contaminated with listeria.

Listeria is a bacteria that can be found in food. Consuming listeria can cause fevers, muscle aches, nausea, and diarrhea. Pregnant women who consume listeria could experience muscle pain, backaches, and headaches. There is a chance infected pregnant women could also experience premature labor, miscarriage, or infection of the child.

Nature Valley recalled their Honey, Peanut, and Almond with Pumpkin Seeds protein chewy bar and their Almond and Chocolate protein chewy bar. Nature Valley has also recalled their Simple Nut bars. Clif Bar has recalled their Nuts and Seeds energy bars, Sierra Trail Mix energy bars, and Mojo Mountain trail mix bars. Quaker has recalled their Quaker Quinoa granola bars in the flavors Nut Medley and Yogurt, Fruit and Nut.
