Surprising Food Poisoning Source
Alfalfa sprouts and the seeds they come from can be contaminated in various ways, and washing doesn’t remove all the bacteria. Food poisoning has been reported from eating sprouts. Since sprouts are eaten raw, this is the way bacteria reach the digestive system. Do not serve alfalfa sprouts to children, elderly people, or anyone with a weakened immune system.
