LOS ANGELES (AP) - A brand of packaged alfalfa sprouts has been pulled from store shelves in California because of possible salmonella contamination.
The state public health department says the Kowalke Organics sprouts were mostly distributed at Gelson's and Whole Foods grocery stores in Southern California. They had sell-by dates from June 18 to June 30.
Kowalke Family Sprouts voluntarily recalled related products such as packaged dinner salad and onion mix.
Owner Mike Matthews said only one package of sprouts tested positive for salmonella, and testing records show that it must have been contaminated after it left the company.
Salmonella can cause serious infections, especially in children, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems.
