This product was not grown or harvested by Wiers Farm. It was sourced from out of state, then handled and distributed by Wiers Farm. Wiers Farm Inc. is coordinating closely with regulatory officials in connection with the recall.
The potential contamination was discovered by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) through routine sampling.
