Class I U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Everything Sprouts Zesty Garlic Mix, containing Garlic recall: Sprouts may be contaminated with STEC E. coli and/or Salmonella

Recall published last month

Sprouts may be contaminated with STEC E. coli and/or Salmonella.

The hazard: E. coli contamination

The hazard here is Shiga toxin-producing E. coli — the strain family behind the bloody-diarrhoea outbreaks, and the reason this notice is worth acting on today rather than at the weekend.

What the notice says: Sprouts may be contaminated with STEC E. coli and/or Salmonella.

Why it matters: Shiga toxin-producing E. coli causes a more severe illness than most food poisoning, and in a minority of cases it damages the kidneys. Very small numbers of bacteria are enough to make someone ill.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

The CDC describes symptoms as severe stomach cramps, diarrhoea that is often bloody, and vomiting, typically starting three to four days after exposure. Most people get better within a week. A small proportion — most often young children and older adults — develop haemolytic uraemic syndrome, a form of kidney failure that needs hospital treatment. Call a doctor for bloody diarrhoea, diarrhoea lasting more than three days, a fever above 102°F, vomiting that prevents you keeping liquids down, or signs of dehydration. The CDC advises against taking anti-diarrhoeal medicine for a suspected E. coli infection unless a doctor tells you to.

What to do about E. coli

Everything Sprouts, LLC — The hazard here is Shiga toxin-producing E. coli — the strain family behind the bloody-diarrhoea outbreaks, and the reason this notice is worth acting on today rather than at the weekend.

  1. Stop eating it now and keep it away from children.
  2. Seal it in a bag and throw it out, or return it to the store for a refund.
  3. Wash hands, utensils, boards and counters that touched it with hot soapy water — cross-contamination is how most secondary cases happen.
  4. If anyone has bloody diarrhoea, call a doctor the same day and say the word recall. Do not reach for an anti-diarrhoeal first.

Getting a refund without the pack

The commonest reason people skip the refund is that they have already thrown the item away. That rarely matters.

  • A photo of the label and lot code is accepted by most grocers, and so is a card statement line showing the purchase.
  • Store credit is often offered first. You can ask for the original payment method instead, and it is normally granted.
  • No photo either? Ask anyway. Grocery chains settle recall refunds at the service desk because disputing them costs more than paying them.
  • For a multi-pack or a case, ask for the full purchase price rather than a per-unit figure — the recall covers what you paid.
