The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has concluded that an E. coli O157:H7 outbreak involving Jack & The Green Sprouts of River Falls, Wisconsin, appears to be over, with 11 sick.

Sprouts are a known source of foodborne illness. We recommend that consumers, restaurants, and other retailers always follow food safety practices to avoid illness from eating sprouts.

This outbreak was not related to the multistate outbreak of Salmonella Muenchen infections linked to alfalfa sprouts produced by Sweetwater Farms of Inman, Kansas.
