Understanding this recall
What happened
Everything Sprouts is recalling Everything Sprouts Zesty Garlic Mix because the sprouts may be contaminated with Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) and/or Salmonella.
Why it matters
Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), such as O157:H7 or O145, can cause severe stomach cramps, diarrhea (often bloody) and vomiting. Some people, especially young children and older adults, develop hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a type of kidney failure. Raw sprouts and produce eaten uncooked are known sources. Raw sprouts are a well-known source of foodborne illness, and public-health agencies advise higher-risk groups to avoid eating them raw.
Who should pay attention
Shoppers in Minnesota and Wisconsin who bought Everything Sprouts or Calco brand sprouts.
