Reason for recall

Seven inch by three quarter inch metal bar was found in a 25# bag of Organic Chia seed when product was being repacked into 5# bags. Metal bar had a jagged edge, with a metal flake loosely attached. There is a possibility that there may have been additional metal flakes that would not be easily seen by consumers.

Foreign material recalls cover pieces of metal, plastic, glass, wood or other objects that got into the product during processing and could cause injury if eaten.
