Firm recalls possibly tainted alfalfa sprouts
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Salad Cosmo USA Corp. is recalling alfalfa sprouts because the product could be contaminated with salmonella, which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems.
The Dixon-based company said the recalled sprouts are packaged in 2.5-ounce plastic containers with white and green labels and clear 1-pound bags with blue labels under the brand name Salad Cosmo Alfalfa Sprouts. They were shipped to grocery stores and restaurants in California, Washington, Oregon and Nevada. The contamination was discovered during routine testing.
