The California Department of Public Health said Friday that two California companies are recalling alfalfa sprouts sold across the West because tests detected salmonella, although no illnesses have been reported.

J.H. Caldwell and Sons of Maywood is recalling Always Fresh and Alfa One sprouts distributed to Trader Joes grocery stores in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. It also is recalling shipments to Beach Market, KV Mart and Superior Warehouse stores in California.

Salad Cosmo USA Corporation of Dixon is recalling sprouts distributed to stores in California and Washington, including SaveMart Supermarkets.

Salad Cosmo recalled the same product last May.

Consumers with questions may contact Salad Cosmo USA Corp. at (707) 678-6633 and J.H. Caldwell and Sons Inc. at (323) 589-4008.

Sprouts have been problematic over the years. Amy, below, doesn’t eat them raw anymore. I never did.
