FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - July 1, 2014 - Oriya Organics, LLC is voluntarily recalling Oriya Organics Superfood Protein Medley which contain Organic Sprouted Chia Seed Powder due to possible health risks related to Salmonella contamination. Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e. infected aneurysms).
Oriya Organics has taken immediate action to voluntarily recall Superfood Protein Medley in order to ensure the safety of its customers.
Products were sold in retailers in Texas and Louisiana. Products were sold directly to customers through the internet in Texas, Arkansas, Illinois, Florida, New York, Louisiana, and Virginia.

No other Oriya Organics products are affected by this recall and no illnesses have been reported to date. This recall has been initiated as a precautionary measure due to a contaminated ingredient from one of our suppliers.
