Organic Traditions Pumpkin Seeds Recalled in U.S. and Canada
On May 8, 2025, Advantage Health Matters Inc. recalled packages of Organic Traditions Organic Jumbo Pumpkin Seeds in the U.S. and Canada because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.
(See ConsumerLab’s Pumpkin Seeds Review for tests of related products – all of which were tested for microbial contamination, including Salmonella, as well as heavy metal contamination with lead, cadmium, and arsenic. Also see ConsumerLab’s reviews of sunflower seeds and butters, chia seeds, and flaxseeds.)
Salmonella is an organism that has been linked to fatal infection in young children, frail or elderly adults, and people with weakened immune systems. In healthy adults, Salmonella can produce fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare cases, Salmonella infection can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
