If you happen to throw lots of chia seeds into your smoothies or overnight puddings, be sure to double-check the brand you're using.
According to Stacey Leasca with Food & Wine, "in May, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) put out a voluntary recall notice for Great Value Organic Black Chia Seeds 32 oz. due to the potential presence of Salmonella. However, on June 28, the FDA gave it a Class 1 risk classification, which means it's a 'situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.'"
