Specialty Farms Recalls Organic Alfalfa Sprouts


Washington, DC: Specialty-Farms, LLC is voluntarily recalling Specialty Farms brand Organic Alfalfa Sprouts Blend and Organic Sprout Salad. The sprouts are being recalled because they may have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria Monocytogenes.

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.
