Three types of popular Clif energy bars are being recalled due to a potential contamination from the bacteria Listeria, part of a far-reaching recall because of bad sunflower seed kernels.

Clif Bar & Company said Thursday it is recalling Nuts & Seeds energy bars, Sierra Trail Mix bars and Mojo Mountain Mix trail mix bars. The recall stems from an ingredient supplier, SunOpta, that distributed sunflower kernels that could be contaminated.

So far, nobody has gotten sick from Clif bars.

Clif bars aren't the only product affected by this supplier. Windy Acres Candy & Nut Company is recalling its sunflower seeds, fruit trail mix and no salt sunflower seed products.
