Foster’s Food Fair – IGA would like to announce that General Mills announced a voluntary national recall of four specific flavours of Nature Valley Protein Chewy Bars and Nature Valley Simple Nut Bars. The recall is being issued as part of sunflower kernel supplier SunOpta’s ongoing national recall for the potential presence of Listeria monocytogenes. General Mills has not received any direct consumer reports of confirmed illnesses related to this supplier issue.

Consumers are asked to check their pantries and dispose of the products affected by this recall, regardless of when they were purchased or what date is on the package.

This recall only affects four flavours of Nature Valley’s nearly 40 different products. Nature Valley’s other products are not affected by this recall. “We know this is inconvenient for consumers who love these four flavours,” said Anton Vincent, President of General Mills Snacks Division. “We promise they will return as soon as it is safe to do so.”
