The same week our Salmonella attorneys won a large settlement for victims of a 2010 Salmonella outbreak linked to alfalfa sprouts, we learned of another Salmonella outbreak linked to alfalfa sprouts, this time Evergreen Produce brand sprouts.
This new outbreak continues to grow:
From April 12 to July 5, a total of 25 persons infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella Enteritidis have been reported from 5 states: Idaho (3), Montana (10), New Jersey (1), North Dakota (1) and Washington (10). Results of the investigation indicate a link to eating alfalfa sprouts and spicy sprouts manufactured by Evergreen Fresh Sprouts, LLC of Moyie Springs, Idaho.
The sprouts Salmonella outbreak prompted Evergreen Fresh Sprouts to recall certain lots of alfalfa sprouts and spicy sprouts due to possible Salmonella contamination. The recalled sprouts were distributed in Washington and Idaho by direct delivery to four distributors and three retail stores and could have ended up in restaurants and supermarkets in those areas and neighboring states. Contaminated products may still be in grocery stores and in consumers’ homes.
