Federal records indicate 2450 cases in US; 223,252 loose packs in UK; 83,338 loose packs in Australia; 15,900 units in Canada units are affected, placing this recall in the million-unit bracket that typically triggers nationwide consumer alerts and retailer sweeps.

The documented reason for this recall is: Apple Cinnamon Protein Punch Energy Ball product is recalled because it has the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. This product contains sunflower kernels that were recalled by supplier SunOpta. Distribution data in the federal record shows the product reached: distributed nationwide in the US and in Australia, Canada, and United Kingdom.. Distribution scope directly affects the consumer exposure window and determines whether a recall remains regional or escalates into a nationwide advisory.

To put this record in context, PlainRecalls indexes 83,949 recalls across the FDA, CPSC, NHTSA and USDA FSIS going back to 1995. Within the same product category, the database holds 6 closely related recalls, of which 4 were also issued by FDA Food. That clustering is a signal — repeated actions in a narrow category often indicate a systemic quality-control issue, a supplier-wide contamination, or a design defect that has propagated across product lines. This recall is roughly 10 years old; older recalls can remain relevant because many units enter resale, rental, and secondary-market channels where the original warning never reaches the end user. Always cross-check the recall number against the official agency page before relying on any summary.
