Quaker Harvest Quinoa Granola Bars in both Chocolate Nut Medley, and Yogurt, Fruit & Nut flavours were recalled. The company said the products contain sunflower kernels that may have been contaminated with Listeria, bacteria that cause listeriosis, a serious infection usually caused by eating contaminated food.

​Quaker Canada also issued a recall for Spitz Sunflower Kernels in both salted flavour and dill pickle flavour.

The products in the recall have various best-before dates and product codes. CFIA advises consumers with any of the products to throw them away or return the products to the store where they were purchased.
