Southern Australians were warned not to consume alfalfa sprouts in a Adelaide company after Salmonella poisoning had made eight people sick within a month.
A series of Sunshine Sprouts products was recalled after eight people contracted salmonella last month, the state health organization said Sunday.
Acting Executive Director of SA Health, Dr. Chris Lease, reported that 116 alfalfa sprout products had been sampled, two patients reported eating them, and Sunday's results showed Salmonella in three samples.
"A number of Sunshine Sprouts Alfalfa Sprouts products have already been voluntarily recalled and we advise all those who purchased the affected products not to eat them and return them for refund or disposal". Lease. .
"In salmonella cases, a common food source is not often identified, but testing of the retail product has confirmed its presence in various alfalfa sprouts.
"We are working closely with the producer and suppliers as we continue to investigate."
The products are sold at Coles, Foodland, IGA and vegetable merchants.
People may experience symptoms between six and 72 hours after exposure, including fever, diarrhea, vomiting, cramps, and headaches. These can last up to seven days.
