The FDA is warning consumers not to eat certain Evergreen Produce brand alfalfa sprouts or spicy sprouts because they may contain Salmonella Enteritidis. The possibly contaminated alfalfa sprouts and spicy sprouts are sold in plastic bags labeled “Evergreen Produce” or “Evergreen Produce Inc.” They are packaged in 4-ounce and 16-ounce plastic bags with pre-printed labels and are also packaged in 1-pound and 5-pound plastic bags with stick-on labels. The spicy sprouts are packaged in 4-ounce plastic bags with pre-printed labels and 1-pound plastic bags with stick-on labels.
The FDA Evergreen Produce sprouts warning was prompted by a Salmonella outbreak that has sickened at least 20 people in Idaho, Montana, New Jersey, North Dakota and Washington State. Several people sickened in the outbreak ate Evergreen Produce alfalfa sprouts before getting sick.
Pritzker Olsen attorneys recently settled several cases involving a restaurant chain that served contaminated sprouts. They represent Salmonella victims throughout the United States.
