CDC Declares End to E. coli and Salmonella Outbreak Traced to Sprouts

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has announced the end of a dual outbreak of E. coli and Salmonella, which was linked to alfalfa sprouts and the seeds used to grow them. The outbreak, traced to Everything Sprouts of Minneapolis, MN, and Berlin Seeds of Millersburg, OH, caused at least 77 illnesses in 16 states and resulted in six hospitalizations. The FDA, however, has not publicly named the seed supplier.
