Recall of Frozen Sprouted Beans Due to Salmonella Risk

The FDA has announced a recall of Frozen Deep Sprouted Mat(Moth) 16 oz. and Deep Sprouted Moong 16oz. because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infection in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illness.

The recalled sprouted beans under the Deep brand were distributed nationwide in retail stores. Several cases of Salmonella have been reported to date, including two in Massachusetts.
