While no adverse events associated with the products have been reported to date, products are being recalled out of an abundance of caution and because consumer safety is the company’s highest priority.; These products can be identified by the main label on the pouch and the lot number that is printed on the bottom of the back panel of the packaging – see the example below:; Name \| Size \| Lot Code \| Expiration Date \| UPC; Great Value Organic Black Chia Seeds \| 32 oz \| 24095 C018 \| October 30, 2026 \| 078742300665
