: Listeria BlogALFA SPROUTS INC. (SPRINGWATER SPROUTS) RECALLS ALFALFA SPROUTS AND CLOVER SPROUTS DUE TO POSSIBLE HEALTH RISK
By Marler Clark
Alfa Sprouts Inc. of Honeoye Falls, NY is recalling approx. 100 lbs of Springwater Sprouts brand Organic Alfalfa Sprouts and bulk 3# Clover Sprouts because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections to individuals with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
The following 2 products are being recalled by the firm.
Clear clam shell packages containing 4 oz. Organic Alfalfa Sprouts with a sell by date of 4/28/2012.
This product was distributed in New York State. Product label and UPC code noted below.
