First question: Who donated over 22,000 pounds of chia seeds to a food bank?
The Oregon Food Bank in Portland is recalling 22,201 pounds of donated — and apparently contaminated — chia seeds after rodent feces were discovered in the product.
The food bank has initiated a Class II recall of the massive quantities of chia seeds that were distributed in Oregon and Clark County in Washington state between Nov. 1, 2017 and March 9, 2018.

The rodent droppings were discovered after a customer complained about "foreign material" they observed in their chia seeds, according to a press release.
An investigation determined there was "evidence of rodent activity by the donor" of the chia seeds, Live Local Organic of Milwaukie, Oregon.
Oregon Food Bank said the chia seeds were distributed in one-pound plastic poly film bags with a twist-type or resealable closure.
