The latter two items (BAR202 & BAR302) were distributed via Nutiva.com or as samples only. Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. No other Nutiva items are impacted by this recall. No illnesses have been reported in connection with the recalled product. However, due to the time required to trace a foodborne illness back to a specific food product, it is impossible to say whether or not any illnesses have occurred. Product images below:
