Broccoli Sprouts Recalled After Salmonella Sickens 22 in Four States

The CDC announced a recall of Evergreen Fresh Sprouts broccoli sprouts linked to a salmonella outbreak that has sickened 22 people across four states and caused two hospitalizations. The agency is investigating alongside the FDA. Illnesses began between July 7 and August 26, with cases reported in Washington, Montana, Idaho, and Utah. All 19 interviewed patients ate sprouts, and officials confirmed the strain in an unopened package from a sick person's home. Consumers should discard or return the recalled sprouts. The FDA is investigating the contamination source, and officials warn the true case count is likely higher due to unreported infections.
