Sprouters Northwest of Kent,
Washington is recalling 1953 pounds of alfalfa, clover, brocco sandwich
sprouts, and spicy sprouts due to the potential contamination 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. 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.
