Salmonella Outbreak
Severity
22 people sick and 2 hospitalized across 4 states to date. The true number of sick people may be higher than reported. Broccoli sprouts grown by Evergreen Fresh Sprouts are linked. Affected products were sold through food co-ops, restaurants, foodservice customers, and grocery stores in 3 states (and likely more). This outbreak is separate from the recent alfalfa sprout outbreak. Do not eat, serve, or sell recalled products. Investigation is ongoing.
Who's At Risk?
Young children (especially those under 5), older adults, and people with weakened immune systems are at higher risk of severe illness.
Symptoms
Symptoms may include severe stomach cramps or abdominal pain, diarrhea (which may be bloody), fever, nausea, and vomiting. In severe cases, infections can cause bloodstream infections, arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, or life-threatening kidney complications such as hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), as well as high blood pressure, chronic kidney disease, and neurologic problems.
