Salmonella is an organism that can result in significant and even fatal infections in those with weak immune systems, youth, and frail or elderly people. But even health people who get infected with Salmonella can experience symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, and fever. Occasionally, the organism can enter the bloodstream and produce more serious illnesses.

If you have an impacted pouch, you should not consume them. When the product has not been opened, it can be returned to the place where you bought it to get a refund. Alternatively, you should be able to get a product replacement by contacting 855-215-5702 between the hours of 8am and 8pm ET Monday through Friday. Navitas continues to work with the FDA on the issues of this recall.

Returning the product is an insufficient remedy if you’ve already experienced Salmonella infection as a result of the chia seeds. When there is injury or illness involved with a defective product, you may be able to pursue damages in a product liability lawsuit.
