Company Announcement
Everything Sprouts, LLC, based in Minneapolis, MN is expanding its voluntary recall of sprouts to include certain lots of Robust Radish Sprout Mix because it has the potential to be contaminated with Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) or Salmonella bacteria.
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are organisms that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Escherichia coli (STEC) O26:H11, E. coli O103:H25, and E. coli O168:H8 are three members of this group of Shiga toxin producing E. coli. STECs cause an acute diarrheal illness (often bloody diarrhea) within a few days of ingestion of the bacteria. Most people recover within a week. However, a subset of infected individuals (especially children < 5 years of age, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals) may develop hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a severe illness characterized by hemolytic anemia (red cell breakdown), thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) and renal failure. HUS can lead to death.
The most common clinical illness caused by nontyphoidal Salmonella infection is gastroenteritis, resulting in nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps, which typically begins 6–72 hours after ingestion of contaminated food or water. Salmonella gastroenteritis is usually a self-limited disease in the normal healthy individual. Patients at risk for more severe illness include neonates, infants, adults greater than 65 years, patients with impaired immunity or immunosuppressing treatments. In these rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and septic arthritis.
The recalled product was distributed by Everything Sprouts from August 13, 2026 to August 26, 2026 to wholesale distributors and to grocery stores located in MN and WI. This includes Robust Radish Mix, 5oz Cups, Barcode 087906000075, LOT# 223, 226, 230, & 233. We have enclosed sample product labels and bar codes to assist in locating this product.
To date, no reports of illness have been received by federal and state agencies related to Robust Radish Sprouts Mix.
We continue to work closely with public health officials to investigate the source of this potential issue and will provide updates as they become available. Consumers who believe they may have received affected lots of the Alfalfa Sprouts should immediately dispose of them and should carefully clean and sanitize any surfaces or containers that the product may have touched. Retailers and distributors who believe they have received affected lots of Alfalfa Sprouts should immediately stop selling and distributing the Alfalfa Sprouts in inventory and dispose of them according to local protocols. Additionally, they should carefully clean and sanitize any surfaces or containers that the product may have touched. Customers with questions regarding this recall can contact Everything Sprouts at everythingsproutsmn@gmail.com.
