Consumers who enjoy a handful of sprouts on their salads or sandwiches need to know about a recall that has just been expanded. You may have heard that some packages of alfalfa sprouts from Specialty Farms were recalled earlier this week and now the company has added more specific products to the list of recalled sprouts. It has been determined that these sprouts may have been contaminated with Listeria Monocytogenes.
The recalled products are:

Symptoms of this illness include headache, fever, abdominal pain, stiffness, vomiting and diarrhea. Anyone who has consumed these recalled products and is experiencing symptoms of Listeria should consult a health care professional.
