I just purchased chia seed your brand. Are these on recall?

I don't think so. The recent recall was for dry sprouted chia seed powder in Canada. These are whole seeds; not sprouted or powder.

I found a response from Organic India about this warning label that they are required to place on their product. http://organicindiausa.com/prop65/ I am not sure if the recall might be due to the relabeling that would need to be done. The ones I bought did not contain that label on the package since it pre-dated the requirement.

Mine says it expires 10/16, but I checked on the internet on organic chia seed and it says it is good 2 plus years in pantry and 4 plus years in fridge/freezer. I never had this seed go bad on me and I buy it often. It is Organic, Pesticide & chemical free.

Definitely NOT ! They were last year, but are not anymore. I do PST to be able to eat food due health issues. Except for Bobs Red Mill seeds, which are excellent, but costly, Amazon does not currently have ANY UN-WASHED seeds available. I have purchased and tried ALL of them. There is an un- washed Poppy seed shortage across the Country currently.

None. Last year these turned out to be pickling cucumber seeds. I think it was a poser and not Renee's Garden that was selling on this site. Order directly.

They better be non GMO because that's what I paid for. As far as I know these seeds are organic, non GMO.

I don't ever remember my seeds being sent from China. I don't buy anything sent from China. Please check with Amazon and if you don't want them, send them back. This is news to me. Take care.

I don't believe any chia seeds are GMO. Don't know about chemicals. Check out http://www.azchia.com/ for lots of good info on chia seeds and the origin of modern commercial chia.

No sir. I never had a bad batch in the 3 years I have been buying them. Sounds like a manufacturer problem or mislabeled product. Write a letter to Roland expressing your concerns, they might send you a free case.

I looked at mine & saw the little black dots as well. Never noticed them before! The only thing I could find is that these are seeds from weeds that get mixed in. I've been using chia seeds for at least a year now & have had only positive results especially with my HDL's. Don't worry about the black dots. If it was something bad it would be all over the Internet. : ) Hope this helps.

The packaging doesn't indicate either of these terms (not that I could see, anyway). A search through the website's (RobsRedMill.com) FAQ section does say that their seeds are all NON-GMO, however they also add: "This means that the seed planted in the ground is non-GMO. We do not guarantee the complete absence of GMO materials in our products because of wind drift, pollinators and our lack of testing equipment." All of their products are kosher. As for being organic, the reply is: "Bob's Red Mill does offer a wide selection of organic products certified by Quality Assurance International (QAI). Make sure the product is clearly labeled organic, as some items are available both organic and conventional." This chia seed item is not marked Organic.

What such a weird mistake! What kind of company is this! Are you sure it's black seed inside? Because it could be Mustard seed or something else!! [http://www.amazon.com/Indus-Organic-Black-Mustard-Seeds/dp/B005U8NMFC/ref=pd_sim_gro_18]. I'd contact the company/Amazon & let them know to see what they have to say about it, or replace you those bottles. Truth to say; they have a good ORGANIC black seed, is the only 1 I'm using myself, it's good quality seed, unless one bottle was strongly moldy smelling, (I will continue buying from them & if the future purchases seem to be good I'll review my feedback to them). Black seed for me is my medicine to my autoimmune disease, but I was never able to get used to its strong bitter taste, I grind it in a special coffee burr machine & fill it out in my vcaps myself, Excellent.

It doesn't state it on the label. Check Vitacost. They had Chia organic and I believe they are on sale for $8.99 for 12oz.

Hi Michael. I use to buy and eat organic as much as I can and this is why I ordered those Chia seeds. Hard to say if they are better or not than the non-organic because nutrients are similar but when it comes to seeds, I am always concerned about pesticides or other chemical treatments. So even though I was not impressed by the packaging (the bag doesn't seal very well once open) so far I am OK with this brand. Recommendation = soak 1 or 2 seeds spoons at the time and put it in a small container to soak in your fridge. You will get a kind of jelly that is very convenient to add to a shake for example. I never eat the seeds directly : way too small to be crushed by your teeth....A bag lasts very long because you don't want to take too much every day (laxative effect....). Hope that this will help you make a decision on your buying.

I have used Bob's Red Mill Chia seeds for a couple of years and I've NEVER had any stalks or sand or dirt in them! I've bought them at our local grocery store and online at Amazon with no problems.
