Common questions

Which products are included in this recall?
  • 6/11oz Sunflower Seeds Salted (1797.67 Cases)
What is the danger?

Food labels must declare major allergens so people who react to them can avoid the product. This recall was issued because an allergen is present but was not declared. The recall record does not name it in a form we can state reliably, so the official announcement is the authoritative source.

What should I do if I have this product?

If you or anyone in your household has a food allergy, do not eat this product until you have read the official announcement, which names the allergens involved. Check the label details above against what you have at home. Allergic reactions can be severe, and the label will not warn you.

Is this recall still active?

As of June 30, 2026 this recall is listed as ongoing by the FDA.

What states are affected?

Products were distributed in 29 states.
