NewsFederal health officials are tracing the dual-pathogen outbreak to alfalfa sprouts sold under two brand names.
CDC investigators have linked 55 E. coli and salmonella illnesses across 15 states to alfalfa sprouts sold under the Calco and Everything Sprouts brands, including 4 hospitalizations and no deaths. Everything Sprouts LLC recalled specific lots on August 22. The investigation remains open; CDC advises consumers to discard or return recalled sprouts and avoid eating them raw.
The CDC is investigating a growing outbreak of E. coli and salmonella illnesses tied to alfalfa sprouts, with 55 confirmed cases across 15 states as of the agency's latest update. Two people were found to be infected with both pathogens at once.
Investigators have traced the outbreak to alfalfa sprouts sold under the Calco and Everything Sprouts brand names. Everything Sprouts, LLC issued a recall of certain lot numbers on August 22. The FDA maintains detailed lot information on its website, though the CDC notes the investigation was still open as of its most recent update, so the list of affected products could grow.
Symptoms to watch for
The CDC says to seek medical care right away for diarrhea with a fever above 102 F, bloody diarrhea, or signs of dehydration such as reduced urination, dizziness, or a dry mouth and throat.
