The precautionary recall of sunflower seeds was initiated by the German manufacturing company following the discovery of levels of aflatoxin B1 exceeding the limit permitted by current legislation. Aflatoxins are chemical compounds that, if present in high concentrations, can be harmful to health. The manufacturing company has issued a recall, urging consumers to refrain from consuming the implicated product and to return it to the point of sale for a refund.
