In a statement on their website, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland wrote: "The below batches of True Natural Goodness Organic Quinoa Flakes are being recalled due to the possible presence of larvae. Recall notices will be displayed at point-of-sale.While it is relatively uncommon to find larvae in packaged foods, it can happen.
Eating larvae can leave you feeling unwell. Most foods that have larvae aren’t safe to eat, according to Healthline, especially if the larvae have been in contact with feces. Some houseflies use animal and human feces as breeding sites. They also breed on garbage or rotting organic material. It’s possible for maggots to become contaminated with Salmonella enteritidis and Escherichia coli bacteria. Symptoms of an E. coli infection include fever, diarrhea, nausea or vomiting, and cramping. Symptoms of salmonella are similar. Both conditions can also cause bloody stool and fatigue.
