The products, which were distributed in the continental U.S., "contain ingredients made from sunflower seeds distributed by our supplier, SunOpta, that have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes," the announcement said

The bacteria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, as well as high fevers, severe headaches, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. The risk is highest for young children, elderly people and those with compromised immune systems. Pregnant women who get infected can suffer miscarriages or stillbirths.
