The California Department of Public Health has warned consumers not to eat alfalfa sprouts manufactured by Salad Cosmo and J.H. Caldwell and Sons due to possible Salmonella contamination. Routine testing discovered the possible contamination and the companies have voluntarily recalled their products.

1. Make them yourself instead

it's not that hard.

2. Do you grow your own?

If so, are they fast growing & easy to grow? I love alfalfa sprouts when I make egg rolls, as well as on tuna & chicken salad sandwiches.

3. Yes

You can buy a sprouting jar at a health food store, but really all you need is a recycled glass jar (like one from mayo) and a screen or cheescloth for the lid. You can buy all kinds of sprouting seeds at any health food store, or online. Directions come with the seeds.

4. Thanks, aye.

Because of you, I looked it up & I was amazed at how simple it seemed. I'm going to try it!
