The Kane County Health Department is notifying residents that Oriya Organics, LLC is voluntarily recalling Oriya Organics Superfood Protein Medley which contains Organic Sprouted Chia Seed Powder due to possible health risks related to Salmonella contamination.

Oriya Organics has taken immediate action to voluntarily recall Superfood Protein Medley in order to ensure the safety of its customers.

Oriya Organics Superfood Protein Medley, 21.2 oz, UPC Code: 85370100401, with Lot #: A14314 and an expiration date of 05/23/2015.

Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e. infected aneurysms). 

Consumers that have purchased any of these products with the above stated lot number and expiration dates are asked not to consume the product and discard it or return the product to the original point of purchase.
