Living Foods Inc. of Ionia, Michigan, initiated a voluntary market withdrawal of alfalfa sprouts yesterday in response to a Salmonella Typhimurium outbreak investigation being conducted by the Michigan departments of Community Health and Agriculture.

According to a Michigan Department of Agriculture press release, 12 cases of salmonella in Michigan between August 17 and September 18, 2009, have been associated with this outbreak strain (see previous story, [Salmonella Sprout Outbreak in Michigan](http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2009/10/salmonella-sprout-outbreak-in-michigan)).

The sprouts were distributed to retail and food service facilities through wholesale produce suppliers in Michigan under the Living Foods label with a sell by date of October 22 or earlier. Products being recalled include: alfalfa sprouts, 5 lb. box; 1 lb. bag; 4 oz. bag; 4 oz. cup; spicy sprouts, 4 oz. cup; 7 sprout, 4 oz. cup; alfalfa/onion, 4 oz. cup; and alfalfa/garlic, 4 oz. cups.

If consumers have any sprouts in their possession, they should be discarded. Wholesalers and retailers should remove the sprouts from sale and cease distribution.
