A new recall has been issued for contaminated broccoli sprouts, linking them to a Salmonella outbreak that has affected 22 people across four states. The FDA, investigating the outbreak, announced the recall of broccoli sprouts produced by Evergreen Fresh Sprouts LLC in Moyie Springs, Idaho. The affected sprouts were sold in 6/4oz bags, with UPC code 8 38796 00105 1 and various use-by dates from September 7th to September 16th.
The recalled sprouts were distributed to three distributors in Washington, which may have then delivered them to retailers in Idaho, Montana, and Washington. No deaths have been reported, but two individuals required hospitalization. Symptoms of Salmonella infection include watery diarrhea, stomach cramps, headache, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite, usually starting six hours to six days after infection and lasting up to seven days.
Consumers who purchased the affected sprouts are advised to dispose of them immediately, and retailers and restaurants should refrain from selling or serving the recalled product. Those with questions can contact Evergreen Fresh Sprouts at 1-208-267-4258.
