Clif Bar Is Recalling Multiple Flavors for Listeria Risk

Clif Bar is urging consumers to throw away several of its popular products out of concern that they could be contaminated with listeria.

The energy bar maker voluntarily recalled three of its flavors on Thursday after discovering that they contained ingredients supplied by SunOpta stkl , which in May recalled many of its sunflower kernels for possible listeria. SunOpta’s move triggered a recall of about 100 snack foods that used its affected kernels, and other protein and granola bar makers have since also issued warnings about their products.

Clif Bar’s recall includes its Mojo Mountain trail mix bars, Sierra Trail Mix energy bars, and Nuts & Seeds energy bars, with “best by” dates ranging from this month to 2017. (For the specific dates of the recalled products, see Clif Bar’s full announcement.)

The company was not able to say how many Clif Bar boxes are affected by the recall in response to a request from Fortune, but said it has not received any reports of its customers falling ill. Symptoms of a Listeria monocytogenes infection range from fever to flu-like discomfort and stomach problems, and can sometimes be fatal in pregnant women, children and the elderly.

1. Thank You!!

Many colleagues will be interested, glad I don't have any in my backpack and cache.

2. You're welcome.

When I see news about a food product being recalled I try to make the extra effort to spread the news. I know that I've eaten a few hundred Clif Bars throughout the years.

3. Agreed.

I eat them on occasion but the trail crew and others here use them a lot so I posted it where they can see it too.

5. Again with the "urging consumers to throw away" food

Big company fucks up and little consumer gets screwed out of $$, again.

Yeah, yeah, refund... who keeps receipts or even remembers where every thing they purchased came from (mostly talking about the recent CRF frozen food recall). Less regulation, less, less === more and more fuck ups like this.

6. Twas my first reaction. Recall?

There is no "recall". I sympathize, but....

7. Interesting. My husband was really sick last week.

and he normally has a Clif bar a couple hours after he gets to work. Sweating and sick to his stomach, he was in bed for 22 hours straight.

He had bought one that is involved in the recall, but can't remember when he ate it.

Edit to add:
Thank you so much for posting this! We had another one of the recalled varieties in the cabinet. Chances are pretty good that he would have eaten that one in the next few days too.
