Hazardous Contamination Leads to Food Recall

in News
Frozen Food Recalls Issued in 31 States Due to Metal Contamination

A Wisconsin company recently recalled 5-ounce packages of alfalfa sprouts due to concerns that the food could be contaminated with listeria monocytogenes.

In a Saturday press release, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced, “Jack and the Green Sprouts, Inc. of River Falls, WI is recalling 5oz packages of Alfalfa sprouts that expired on 1/29/25 because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.”

The FDA added, “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.”

The FDA reported that the recall was initially announced by Jack and the Green Sprouts on February 7 and affected 5-ounce alfalfa sprout packages that had been sold at grocery stores and local co-ops in Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota.

Jack and the Green Sprouts’ website notes that the company’s products can be purchased “throughout the Midwest in local supermarkets, specialty markets (such as co-op’s), and wholesale distributors.”

According to the FDA’s press release, the alfalfa sprout packages were sold in clear plastic packages with “lot #687 UPC #763247198915” located on the top of the packages. The FDA also noted that no illnesses had been reported as a result of the potential listeria contamination.

The FDA noted that the potential contamination was discovered after Minnesota’s routine testing showed “the presence of Listeria monocytogenes” in expired packages of Jack and the Green Sprouts’ Alfalfa sprouts.

The FDA’s press release urged any consumers with the expired 5-ounce Alfalfa sprout packages to dispose of them “out of an abundance of caution.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), listeria infection is “the third leading cause of death from foodborne illness in the United States.” The CDC’s website notes that roughly 1,600 individuals are infected with listeria and approximately 260 individuals die from listeria infections each year in the United States.
