Ugh, another recall. There’s a massive recall on sunflower seeds (a product we buy all the time) and sunflower seed containing products as they potentially contain Listeria monocytogenes, which can cause serious illness. There are a ton of companies involved. Follow the links below to see which brands are recalled and steps to take.

I ate some sunflower seeds last night and this morning woke up with terrible stomach pains.
Oh no! 🙁 Hope you recover quickly!
So I ate 3 best choice protein bars. Between yesterday and today. Well they are on the list but my exp doesn’t match its close to some. Should I be worried 30 weeks pregnant.
I played it safe and threw my sunflower seeds out even though they weren’t on the list. They keep adding more products. You may want to contact the store and see if they’ll offer a refund.
Is the recall for only the kernels? Are the ones in their shell also included? I’ve noticed that the David seeds are everywhere & almost doubled in price & I don’t enjoy their flavor. Have they figured it out? I usually buy the Dakota large in shell & missing them. I quit smoking & the seeds are my replacement.
This article says all.

“They also include spreads, packaged kernels, salad toppings, snack bars and mixes of products containing sunflower seeds.”
I bought two packs of sunflower seeds. Bread recipe called for a half cup. We ate that bread….no complaints! I am storing the rest in our refrigerator for later use.

Does this recall affect bird seed, My parrot’s food always contains sunflower seeds. Do they even check bird foods?
We noticed that birds are not eating are bird seed and found two dead chipmunks who we feed , so I looked up to see if there was a recall and here I am we got are seed at Lowes, throwing it out and waiting to see when can buy it again!
I got really sick to my stomach a n d had real bad stomach cramps till I vomited. Still can’t even stand them or think about them.. It was terrible.
I thought then they had used something different to cook them, the oil to roast them or something. This was a year ago.
