The outbreak involves multiple germs, including salmonella and various strains of E. coli, with a significant number of affected individuals having consumed alfalfa sprouts from Everything Sprouts, a Minnesota-based producer.
In response, Everything Sprouts has initiated a voluntary recall of specific product lots. The company has stated that it has conducted daily testing since the outbreak's onset, reporting no positive lab results thus far.
