Figi’s Companies, Inc of Marshfield, WI is recalling the following 2 products that are related to the SunOpta sunflower kernel recall, because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

The recalled Hot & Spicy Cajun Snack Mix was distributed nationwide through mail orders. The Nature’s Mix 16 oz red circular tins were distributed nationwide through a distributor who sold directly to consumers and the Nature’s Mix in clear plastic bags were only distributed through Figi’s Outlet Store located in Marshfield, WI.

No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.

Figi’s was notified by our supplier that there is a potential for contamination.

The production of the two noted products has been suspended while the source of the problem is being investigated. Production will resume when a suitable resolution is found.

Consumers who have purchased 16 ounce packages of the Hot and Spicy Mix with the lot number noted above or the bulk-packaged Nature’s Mix from our Outlet Store are urged to return them to Figi’s for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact Figi’s Companies, Inc. Monday – Saturday, 7am – 530pm CST at 1-800-437-3817.
