Product Recalls

Our goal is to provide you with the most up to date information regarding product recalls that can be found in the products you buy at the local grocery stores. We understand that many people now choose to travel and shop at bulk suppliers like Sam’s Club, Kroger, and maybe even Trader Joe’s. Therefore, those places will also be included in this product recall page. Click the links for more information.

Natural Sourcing International is initiating a voluntary recall of one lot of Great Value Organic Black Chia Seeds 32 oz. due to the potential presence of Salmonella that may be in some of the finished products. Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis. While no adverse events associated with the products have been reported to date, products are being recalled out of an abundance of caution and because consumer safety is the company’s highest priority.
