Second possible source in outbreak linked to sprouts

Both companies share common seed supplier

August 31, 2026

Sprouts produced by Everything Sprouts, LLC do not account for all of the E. coli and Salmonella illnesses currently under investigation in a multistate outbreak that has caused 55 illnesses so far.

The FDA‘s traceback investigation has identified a second sprout grower who received seeds from the same outfit that supplied alfalfa seeds to Everything Sprouts.

The supplier has instructed its customers not to use, grow, sell, transfer, or redistribute the implicated seed lot, and to return or dispose of any remaining seed.

Neither the second sprouting operation nor the seed supplier have been named by the FDA.

The FDA has requested that the seed supplier initiate a voluntary recall of the implicated lot of seeds and also contact their customers to recommend a recall of the sprouts produced from those seeds. The supplier has not responded to the recall request, nor have they contacted their downstream customers to recommend recalls.

The FDA is continuing its investigation of both sprout producers and of the potentially contaminated lot of seeds that was supplied to both companies.

Current outbreak and recall status

As of today, the CDC has not updated its case count, which stands at 55 confirmed cases, including 4 people hospitalized, in fifteen states. Seven of the victims were infected with Salmonella Agona, while 46 were confirmed to be infected with one of three strains of E. coli. At least two individuals suffered a double whammy—infected with both E. coli and Salmonella.

On August 28th, Everything Sprouts expanded its initial recall of three sprout products to include a fourth product due to what the FDA described as a risk of cross-contamination.

What you need to know

FDA recommends the following:

  • Do not eat, sell, or serve recalled sprouts. 
  • Check your refrigerators and freezers for recalled sprouts and throw them away or return the product to the place of purchase. If you froze a product without the original packaging and can’t tell if it’s part of the affected sprouts, throw it away.   
  • Consumers, restaurants, retailers, and foodservice customers who purchased or received recalled sprouts, including wholesale products, should carefully clean and sanitize any surfaces or containers that they touched. Follow FDA’s safe handling and cleaning advice to reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
  • Retailers that received recalled sprouts and repackaged them for individual sale should not sell them and should remove the products from the market. 
  • Consult your health care provider immediately if you ate recalled sprouts and have any symptoms that resemble an STEC or Salmonella infection.

eFoodAlert adds one more: AVOID RAW SPROUTS, whether or not they have been recalled.
