Salmonella Sprouts Sold to 400 Wal-Marts

Alfalfa sprouts recalled for Salmonella were sold in 400 Wal-Mart stores in 15 states.

A Wal-Mart spokeswoman said the Salmonella-tainted sprouts from Caldwell Fresh Foods were removed from all affected Wal-Mart produce sections as soon as the Salmonella recall was announced.

Wal-Mart's Caren Epstein told The Huffington Post that 75 Wal-Marts in Illinois, 56 Wal-Marts in Georgia and 47 Wal-Marts in Louisiana purchased the sprouts. The rest of the stores were spread through the remaining 12 states.

Trader Joe's was another big retailer affected by the Salmonella sprouts recall.

The contaminated produce sold by Caldwell Fresh Foods of Maywood, California, has been linked to 22 Salmonella infections in 10 states. Half the illnesses were confirmed in California and one of the victims was a baby in Oregon.
