What happened?

According to the FDA notice, Everything Sprouts expanded its voluntary recall on August 28 to include certain lots of Robust Radish Mix. The expansion follows an earlier recall involving the company’s alfalfa sprouts and other sprout mixes.

Specifically, the newly recalled product includes 5-ounce Robust Radish Mix cups with barcode 087906000075 and lot numbers 223, 226, 230, and 233.

Meanwhile, Everything Sprouts distributed the affected products from August 13 through August 26 to wholesale distributors and grocery stores in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

As the investigation continues, the company said it is working closely with public health officials to determine the source of the potential issue. So far, federal and state agencies have received no reports of illnesses linked to the Robust Radish Mix.

Affected products

Brand	Product	Size	Barcode	Affected lots	Issue	Distribution
Everything Sprouts	Robust Radish Mix	5 oz cups	087906000075	223, 226, 230, 233	Potential STEC or Salmonella	Minnesota and Wisconsin

What caused the issue?

According to the FDA notice, the Robust Radish Mix may be contaminated with STEC or Salmonella. However, the agency did not provide further details about how the potential contamination occurred.

STEC infections can cause acute diarrhea, which may become bloody, within several days of exposure. Although most people recover within a week, some may develop hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a serious condition that can cause anemia, low platelet counts, and kidney failure.

Importantly, children younger than five, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems face a greater risk of serious complications from STEC infections.

Meanwhile, Salmonella infections can cause nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps, typically beginning six to 72 hours after consuming contaminated food or water.

Food Safety Insight

“When new information expands a pathogen recall to another product, food safety teams should reassess whether existing hazard controls still reflect the full scope of the concern,” said Cherry Ann S. Portugal, Professional Food Technologist at Source86.

“Reviewing HACCP decisions, shared production conditions, and verification results can help teams determine whether additional corrective or preventive measures need to be considered.”

Here’s what you should do

Consumers who have Everything Sprouts products at home should:

• Check for Robust Radish Mix sold in 5-ounce cups.
• Look for barcode 087906000075.
• Check for lot numbers 223, 226, 230, or 233.
• Do not consume Robust Radish Mix that matches the recalled product information.
• Dispose of affected product and carefully clean and sanitize surfaces or containers it may have contacted.
• Contact a healthcare provider if you develop symptoms after consuming a potentially affected product.
• Email Everything Sprouts at [email protected] with recall questions.

The FDA-posted company announcement instructs consumers to dispose of affected sprouts and sanitize potentially exposed surfaces. However, its consumer-action paragraph refers to “Alfalfa Sprouts” even though this expansion specifically identifies Robust Radish Mix.

Regulatory context

Beyond the immediate recall, the Everything Sprouts expansion highlights why traceability remains critical when food safety investigations identify additional potentially affected products.

In particular, accurate lot and distribution records can help manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers quickly locate affected inventory when a recall scope changes. Additionally, clear communication across the supply chain can help updated product information reach businesses and consumers faster.

More broadly, food manufacturers, Co-Manufacturers, Co-Packers, and Private Label businesses can strengthen recall readiness through lot-level traceability, pathogen controls, and clear recall procedures.

Ultimately, the Everything Sprouts recall reinforces the importance of acting quickly when new information changes the scope of a food safety concern.
