After a single package of alfalfa sprouts tested positive for salmonella, Living Foods, Inc. of Ionia, Mich., is recalling bulk and retail-size packages of alfalfa sprouts sold in Michigan.
Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
