Minnesota health and agriculture officials publicly warn consumers to discard alfalfa sprouts from Everything Sprouts after linking them to the dual bacterial outbreak.
Illness onset window ends

Illness onset window begins
First reported illnesses in the identified outbreak window, linked to consumption of contaminated alfalfa sprouts.
FDA warning letter issued
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration sends Everything Sprouts a warning letter citing the 2024 inspection findings.
FDA inspection finds sanitation violations
An FDA inspection at Everything Sprouts documents serious Produce Safety Rule violations, including roof leaks that allowed water to drip onto exposed sprouts.
Minnesota and Wisconsin officials linked 41 illnesses to alfalfa sprouts contaminated with both Salmonella and Shiga toxin-producing E. coli. The rare dual-pathogen outbreak includes co-infections and two hospitalizations, with more cases expected. A March 2025 FDA warning letter shows sanitation failures predated the outbreak.
The FDA and Oma's Pride recalled 639 bags of frozen raw dog food after Salmonella was detected, warning that humans handling the product can become infected. Pet owners are advised to stop feeding, sanitize surfaces, and seek refunds. The case highlights zoonotic transmission risk in raw pet diets.
Public health officials are responding to 17 active foodborne illness outbreaks—including Cyclospora and Salmonella—by proposing that food companies must notify the FDA of GRAS ingredients. This shift could give epidemiologists critical data to trace outbreaks faster and prevent contamination in imported produce, where foreign inspection gaps leave the food supply vulnerable.
