FDA: sold in Walmart stores throughout the United States
(FOX BUSINESS) – The Food and Drug Administration has reclassified a recall of chia seeds sold at Walmart as the highest risk of injury or death due to salmonella poisoning.
The recall of “Great Value Organic Black Chia Seeds 32 oz.” was first announced on May 13, says the FDA’s website. It was reclassified to “Class I” – the highest risk level – at the end of June.
A “Class I” recall is “a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death,” says the FDA’s website.
The recall extends to one lot of the chia seeds, which are sold in Walmart stores throughout the United States, said the FDA.
