General Mills is recalling four types of Nature Valley bars as part of a larger recall over listeria in sunflower seeds.
The company said it would call back Protein Chewy Bars and Simple Nuts Bars in four flavor combinations: honey, peanut and almond with pumpkin seeds; peanut, almond and dark chocolate; roasted peanut and honey; and almond, cashew and sea salt.
General Mills said it has received no reports of illnesses related to the products.
Consumers should throw out the recalled bars and call 866-896-4365 for a replacement.
The recall applies to the following products:
- Nature Valley Protein Chewy Bar: Honey, Peanut & Almond with Pumpkin Seeds (five count) with UPC 000-16000-47196
- Nature Valley Protein Chewy Bar: Peanut, Almond & Dark Chocolate (five count) with UPC 000-16000-45724
