Buzzline

An investigation by the FDA is underway regarding a Salmonella outbreak associated with broccoli sprouts produced by Evergreen Fresh Sprouts, LLC. This incident has resulted in 22 reported cases of illness and two hospitalizations in Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Washington. The company has issued a recall for sprouts with expiration dates of September 7, 9, 11, 14, and 16, while officials caution that the affected product may have distributed to other states. Among the 19 patients surveyed, 89% confirmed consumption of broccoli sprouts prior to their Salmonella Bovismorbificans infections. Symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps generally manifest within 12 to 72 hours after exposure and can persist for up to a week. Vulnerable populations, including children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems, are at greater risk.
