The public is being warned not to consume the Mumm’s-brand Sprouting Seeds – Sunflower, which are sold in 75 g packages bearing UPC 7 73295 07582 3 and lot # SF2020.
The product is known to have been distributed in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario, and may have been distributed across the country.
