Alfalfa Sprouts and Lettuce Outbreaks | Seattle News
Description
E. coli and Salmonella outbreaks linked to alfalfa sprouts are sickening at least 55 people nationwide, with 4 hospitalized—no deaths yet—but CDC warns actual cases are likely much higher. Consumers should discard or return affected sprouts, with a CDC map pinpointing hotspots across the Midwest and East Coast. Meanwhile, a separate Cyclospora outbreak tied to Taylor Farms lettuce (and Taco Bell) has infected over 10,000 across 17 states, mostly in Michigan and Ohio—though the recall on July 17th has removed most of the contaminated product. Both outbreaks have CDC maps to help track where the food went and where you might’ve been exposed. Stay alert, folks—your next bite could be risky.
