Check Your Pantry! Clif Bar, Kashi, and Nature Valley Are Recalling These Snacks For Possible Listeria Contamination

If you frequently munch on energy bars, you should check you pantry to make sure you discard these popular Snacks.< br>
The FDA recently announced a voluntary recall of Clif Bar Nuts & Seeds Energy Bars due to possible listeria contamination. The recall, which affects three popular flavors, comes as a result of SunOpta's announcement of potentially harmful goods earlier this year. Symptoms of listeriosis usually begin with diarrhea or other tummy troubles, and patients soon develop a fever and body aches. Those at high risk may also develop a headache, stiff neck, mental confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions, which can be signs of fatal meningitis or encephalitis.

Clif Bar & Company is not the only snack brand affected by the listeria scare. Kashi has also recently issued a voluntary recall of its trail mix and granola bar products, along with General Mills, which issued a warning for select Nature Valley products. SunOpta supplies sunflower seeds for use to all three of the brands.

The list of flavors being recalled include the following:

• Clif Bar Nuts & Seeds energy bar with "best by" date range starting June 8, 2016, through Jan. 21, 2017
• Clif Bar Sierra Trail Mix energy bar with "best by" date range starting June 5, 2016, through March 24, 2017
• Clif Mojo Mountain Mix trail mix with "best by" date range starting June 16, 2016, through Feb. 2, 2017
