Outbreak Investigation of Salmonella: Sprouts (September 2026) – 11/4 Update:
- As part of the investigation, FDA and state partners collected samples of broccoli sprouts and broccoli seeds. Evergreen Fresh Sprouts-brand broccoli sprout samples collected by Washington state and Montana state health officials tested positive for Salmonella and matched the strain of Salmonella making people sick in this outbreak by whole genome sequencing (WGS).
- Laboratory results from broccoli sprout and seed samples in addition to traceback and epidemiologic evidence have shown a common broccoli seed lot as the likely source of this outbreak. All affected broccoli sprouts and seeds have been recalled, and FDA’s outbreak investigation is complete.
