The recalled pumpkin seeds are packaged in clear plastic bags and labeled with lot number L250320200. An expiration date of May 2, 2027, is printed on the side of the packaging. The product was pulled from the market following a related recall issued by a foreign supplier, which raised concerns about possible contamination during the production process.
Salmonella infection can lead to severe illness, especially in young children, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems. Symptoms may include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In more severe cases, the bacteria may spread to the bloodstream, potentially causing conditions such as endocarditis or infected aneurysms.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
Advantage Health Matters has halted production of the product while it investigates the origin of the contamination. Consumers who purchased the recalled pumpkin seeds are advised to return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund. Questions can be directed to the company at info@organictraditions.com.
